Chudleigh is a small town located in Central Devon, England located between Newton Abbot and Exeter.
Chudleigh is very close to the edge of Dartmoor and in Teign Valley.The town is also bypassed by the A38 road in 1972. Nearby Castle Dyke is an Iron Age Hill Fort which demonstrates far earlier settlement in the area. Chudleigh has expanded a good deal in recent years as commuter houses have been built around its edges, but despite this it still retains a fairly traditional village centre.
Local Amenities include
- Outdoor swimming pool
- Cricket field and football pitches
- Skate park
There is a Primary School located in the centre.
Nearby "the Rock" is a natural beauty spot and attracts rock climbers who scale the range of routes on the (limestone) crag.
