Cullompton
Cullompton lies alongside the River Culm which originates from the Blackdown Hills in Somerset running west until it reaches the River Exe, north of Exeter. The town and its immediate area is famous for its working textile and paper mills. A fine example is Coldharbour Mill, a 200 year old spinning mill set in the tranquil village of Uffculme. Cullompton is an ancient market town still boasting an old market place known as ‘the Bull Ring.’ The market is still held in this area near the town’s War Memorial commemorating the fallen. Much of the town is now designated as Conservation Area protecting a wide variety of important buildings including The Manor House situated in Fore Street, bearing the date 1603. A short distance away is the 15th century St Andrew’s Church some 120ft in height. A visit to this church would be highly recommended to any visitor.
Cullompton also enjoys excellent access to the West County and the rest of the UK. The nearby M5 is the main link between the West County and the Midlands. Exeter can be reached in 20 minutes, Taunton in 30 minutes and Bristol in 75 minutes. Both Exeter and Bristol have their own airports offering an ever growing selection of national and international flights. There is a main line railway station, Tiverton Parkway some 6 miles distant where the “Express” to London can be made in just over 2 hours.
