Umberleigh North Devon in the Parishes of Chittlehampton and Atherington
Umberleigh is a quiet village set around the old three arched Umberleigh bridge, by the river Taw (Tarka the Otter). only 6 miles from Barnstaple on 377 Exeter road. South Molton and Torrington 8 miles on B3227 Served by the Tarka line train to Umberleigh Station. Chittlehampton, Chittlehamholt and Atherington are only a couple of miles either way from the bridge, and all well worth a visit. All villages have facilities for food and drink.
There are plenty of 'Old English' Thatched cottages in Chilttlehampton, which is particularly quaint, a fine English village square and great spired Church, old medieval stocks, certainly one to walk round. A little further away from Atherington is High Bickington, again lots of old charm, and possibly the most complete old English Devon village is Chulmleigh, some 8 miles away.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE AREA AROUND UMBERLEIGH, NORTH DEVON!!
Most of Britain had terrible floods last year 2007, Umberleigh did NOT, there was no problems at all.Umberleigh was flooded, back in 2000, but since then the Environment Agency had widened the banks and more importantly, dredged the river and cleared the three span bridge. Two arches had been blocked for many decades, and now the high water goes down stream. Nature is unpredictable, but we in Umberleigh feel those floods are now a thing of the past.
