Welcome to Stoodleigh

Stoodleigh is a small village located in the Mid Devon district of Devon, England. The village is situated on the edge of the Exmoor National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 400 people and is known for its picturesque thatched cottages, historic church, and friendly community.

Stoodleigh has a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, the village is still home to a number of working farms, but many residents now commute to nearby towns and cities for work. Despite this, Stoodleigh has managed to maintain its rural charm and sense of community, with many local events and activities taking place throughout the year.

One of the main attractions of Stoodleigh is its proximity to the Exmoor National Park. The park is a haven for wildlife and offers visitors the chance to explore some of the most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes in the UK. There are many walking and cycling routes in the area, as well as opportunities for horse riding, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or an action-packed adventure, Stoodleigh and the surrounding area has something to offer everyone.
