Villas in Chudleigh

About Chudleigh

Chudleigh is an old wool town in the Teign Valley, between Exeter and Newton Abbot and near the edge of Dartmoor. A fire in 1807 destroyed around 180 of its 300 houses, and the Italianate Town Hall dates from 1865. The A38 has bypassed the town since 1972, so main-road traffic goes round it. Nearby is Ugbrooke, the seat of the Barons Clifford of Chudleigh, and Haldon Forest. The homes listed here are small, mostly for two to four people, and some have a private pool. It is an inland town, so beach days involve a drive to the coast.

Dartmoor's highest ground gets over 2,000 mm of rain a year, against under 800 mm on lower land to the east around the Exe Estuary, so pack for wet weather on the moor. Snow is not common, though the moor has averaged about 20 days of falling snow a year. Teignmouth Carnival runs in the last week of July.
