Cullompton (/ˈkʌləmptən/) is a town and civil parish in the district of Mid Devon and the county of Devon, England, locally known as Cully. It is 13 miles (21km) miles north-north-east of Exeter and lies on the River Culm. In 2011 the parish as a whole had a population of 8,499 while the built-up area of the town had a population of 7,439
The earliest evidence of occupation is from the Roman period – there was a fort on the hill above the town and occupation in the current town centre. Columtune was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will. In the past the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then later leather working and paper manufacture.
A large proportion of town's inhabitants are commuters but there is still some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market held on the second Saturday of every month which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. It is home to two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth-century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth-century house known as The Walronds. The centre of the town is the only conservation area in Mid Devon and there are seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings in the parish.

Cullompton Farmers Market 20th Anniversary
Neil Parish MP cut the cake as Cullompton Farmers Market celebrated its 20th-anniversary last week.
The market has been running in Station Road car park since 1998 after Tracy Frankpitt heard about the idea on Radio 4. The market was the fourth Farmers’ market in the UK and the first in the South West to be started by anyone other than a local authority.
Tiverton and Honiton MP Mr Parish was invited to launch the celebrations on Saturday, June 30 with entertainment including Stripey, the original musician from years ago.
Mr Parish said: “It’s a wonderful thing to celebrate 20 years of having this market here. We’ve got wonderful produce, we’ve got arts and crafts and food, and it’s nice for me as an MP to be able to come to something so lovely.
“Everybody enjoys themselves, and we need ...

Bear Town | Cullompton | Devon
Bear Town in Cullompton, Devon.
We had big expectations after seeing and hearing lots of great feedback of this unique children’s play centre. Unlike anything you’ve ever taken your child to before, Bear Town is the perfect place for your role play loving little ones!
Here you’ll find amazingly detailed and nicely scaled role play settings including hair salon, car garage, vet surgery, domestic home, fire depot, post office, supermarket, bank, theatre, building site, cafe, and probably my favourite, the police station (with secret jail-brake tunnel).
My 3 year old loved exploring all areas and getting fully involved in the dressing up! The layout and size allows plenty of free flowing play and interaction with other children, whilst still allowing children to have their own space. Ou...

In the past the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then later leather working and paper manufacture.
A large proportion of town's inhabitants are commuters but there is some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market held on the second Saturday of every month which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. It is home to two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth-century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth-century house known as The Walronds. The centre of the town is the only conservation area in Mid Devon and there are seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings in the parish.
The derivation of the name Cullompton is disputed. One derivation is that the town's name means "Farmstead on the River Culm" with Culm probably meaning knot or tie (referring to the river's twists and loops). In 1805 or 1806 the last bull-baiting in the town took place. On 7 July 1839, a severe fire destroyed many houses in Cullompton.
Cullompton is 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Tiverton, 13 miles (21 km) north-north-east of Exeter and 149 miles (240 km) west-south-west of London. It is at about 70 m above sea level. The parish covers nearly 8,000 acres (32 km2) and stretches for 7 miles (11 km) along the Culm valley.
The street plan of the town still reflects the medieval layout of the town. Most shops lie along Fore Street with courts behind them linked by alleyways. The length of the high street reflects the prosperity of the town from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century when it was a centre of the cloth trade. The street plan is still fundamentally the same as shown on a map of 1663, with a wider area at the North end where markets were held, roads to Tiverton and Ponsford and a small lane leading down to a mill (now known as Lower Mill). This map has only two buildings with roofs coloured blue (conventionally meaning they were of slate) – St Andrew's church and the Walronds. There are two grade I listed buildings in Cullompton: the fifteenth century parish church (St Andrew's) and the Walronds at 6 Fore Street. There are also seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings. The centre of the town is a conservation area – the only one in the Mid Devon area. Hillersdon House, a Victorian manor house is near to the town centre and within the parish.
The Walronds was probably built in 1605 which is the date over the hall fireplace. St Andrew's church dates from the fifteenth century. Cullompton Manor House is a grade II* listed building with sections built in 1603 (dated panel and initials TT for Thomas Trock on the top corner of the front of the house) and 1718 (on a lead cistern head of a drainpipe, are the letters (L) S/WT (R) and the date 1718). Running parallel to the main high street is a leat with a public footpath running along it. The leat runs from Head Weir, north of Cullompton.
Junction 28 of the M5 lies within the parish of Cullompton and a short distance from the town centre. The Bristol and Exeter Railway opened Cullompton railway station when the railway opened on 1 May 1844. Devon County Council's Travel Transport Plan includes the reopening of Cullompton Railway Station.

Neil Parish MP cut the cake as Cullompton Farmers Market celebrated its 20th-anniversary last week.
The market has been running in Station Road car park since 1998 after Tracy Frankpitt heard about the idea on Radio 4. The market was the fourth Farmers’ market in the UK and the first in the South West to be started by anyone other than a local authority.
Tiverton and Honiton MP Mr Parish was invited to launch the celebrations on Saturday, June 30 with entertainment including Stripey, the original musician from years ago.
Mr Parish said: “It’s a wonderful thing to celebrate 20 years of having this market here. We’ve got wonderful produce, we’ve got arts and crafts and food, and it’s nice for me as an MP to be able to come to something so lovely.
“Everybody enjoys themselves, and we need more of this kind of thing. I appreciate what the organisers have done over the years as these things don’t just happen overnight and I think it’s great for Cullompton.”
The current chairman of the Farmers Market Sarah Jones praised her “passionate committee” who had seen the market through the highs and lows of two decades.
“I think in the current climate we’re just grateful to be here,” she said. “We’re going to take the market back to the high street, we have a pop-up market on Saturdays, and we head out from Station Road to events such as the Uffculme Show, Tesco car park, and we also like to help promote the high street as a destination too.
“The high street seems to suffer here with traffic and everything else and the town is growing so we’ve got to maintain the market as they will be glad of it in years to come I hope.”
Mayor of Cullompton Iain Emmett also encouraged residents to come and support it. He said: “It’s a new market every month with new people and a chance to attract visitors from outside the town. It’s a tradition we can build on.
“There’s a lot of people here today I haven’t seen before, and hopefully it will continue for the next 20 years.
“People can get behind the market by getting down here, buying things and supporting the town’s events.”
“We have our new town centre development committee which is going to be looking at market activities, the high street and aims to improve the town from parking to toilet facilities, so everything is all part of the mix.”

Bear Town in Cullompton, Devon.
We had big expectations after seeing and hearing lots of great feedback of this unique children’s play centre. Unlike anything you’ve ever taken your child to before, Bear Town is the perfect place for your role play loving little ones!
Here you’ll find amazingly detailed and nicely scaled role play settings including hair salon, car garage, vet surgery, domestic home, fire depot, post office, supermarket, bank, theatre, building site, cafe, and probably my favourite, the police station (with secret jail-brake tunnel).
My 3 year old loved exploring all areas and getting fully involved in the dressing up! The layout and size allows plenty of free flowing play and interaction with other children, whilst still allowing children to have their own space. Our daughter often had one role play area to herself for a while, until another child joined in. A nice little touch and backing up their mantra ‘Learn through play’ was that in each role play area, there was a QR code to scan for educational content specific to the area your little one was exploring. I didn’t try this, as it was our first time there and we focussed on the play, although next time, this W ill surely add to the experience.
Car parking is huge and free so no need to worry about that. The toilets are spacious and clean, with separate baby changing rooms. This helped as we had a 6 month old.
The cafe onsite was reasonably priced and the food was lovely, offering both adult and children menus. High chairs are plentiful too. Views out of the cafe are onto the surrounding assault course (The Bear Trail) and the surrounding countryside.
Overall, this Devon attraction is unique, offering children an environment for them to dive into what ever takes their imagination! The staff and facilities were great.
We’ll be back!

Places to see in ( Cullompton - UK )
Cullompton is a town and civil parish in the district of Mid Devon and the county of Devon, England, locally known as Cully. It is 13 miles north-east of Exeter and lies on the River Culm. The earliest evidence of occupation is from the Roman period – there was a fort on the hill above the town and occupation in the current town centre. Columtune was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will which left it to his youngest son Aethelweard (c.880-922). In the past the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then later leather working and paper manufacture.
A large proportion of town's inhabitants are commuters but there is some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market held on the second Saturday of every month which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. It is home to two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth-century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth-century house known as The Walronds. The centre of the town is the only conservation area in Mid Devon and there are seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings in the parish.
The derivation of the name Cullompton is disputed. One derivation is that the town's name means "Farmstead on the River Culm" with Culm probably meaning knot or tie (referring to the river's twists and loops). In 1805 or 1806 the last bull-baiting in the town took place. On 7 July 1839, a severe fire destroyed many houses in Cullompton.
Cullompton is 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Tiverton, 13 miles (21 km) north-north-east of Exeter and 149 miles (240 km) west-south-west of London. It is at about 70 m above sea level. The parish covers nearly 8,000 acres (32 km2) and stretches for 7 miles (11 km) along the Culm valley.
The street plan of the town still reflects the medieval layout of the town. Most shops lie along Fore Street with courts behind them linked by alleyways. The length of the high street reflects the prosperity of the town from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century when it was a centre of the cloth trade. The street plan is still fundamentally the same as shown on a map of 1663, with a wider area at the North end where markets were held, roads to Tiverton and Ponsford and a small lane leading down to a mill (now known as Lower Mill). This map has only two buildings with roofs coloured blue (conventionally meaning they were of slate) – St Andrew's church and the Walronds. There are two grade I listed buildings in Cullompton: the fifteenth century parish church (St Andrew's) and the Walronds at 6 Fore Street. There are also seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings. The centre of the town is a conservation area – the only one in the Mid Devon area. Hillersdon House, a Victorian manor house is near to the town centre and within the parish.

Neil Parish MP cut the cake as Cullompton Farmers Market celebrated its 20th-anniversary last week.
The market has been running in Station Road car park since 1998 after Tracy Frankpitt heard about the idea on Radio 4. The market was the fourth Farmers’ market in the UK and the first in the South West to be started by anyone other than a local authority.
Tiverton and Honiton MP Mr Parish was invited to launch the celebrations on Saturday, June 30 with entertainment including Stripey, the original musician from years ago.
Mr Parish said: “It’s a wonderful thing to celebrate 20 years of having this market here. We’ve got wonderful produce, we’ve got arts and crafts and food, and it’s nice for me as an MP to be able to come to something so lovely.
“Everybody enjoys themselves, and we need more of this kind of thing. I appreciate what the organisers have done over the years as these things don’t just happen overnight and I think it’s great for Cullompton.”
The current chairman of the Farmers Market Sarah Jones praised her “passionate committee” who had seen the market through the highs and lows of two decades.
“I think in the current climate we’re just grateful to be here,” she said. “We’re going to take the market back to the high street, we have a pop-up market on Saturdays, and we head out from Station Road to events such as the Uffculme Show, Tesco car park, and we also like to help promote the high street as a destination too.
“The high street seems to suffer here with traffic and everything else and the town is growing so we’ve got to maintain the market as they will be glad of it in years to come I hope.”
Mayor of Cullompton Iain Emmett also encouraged residents to come and support it. He said: “It’s a new market every month with new people and a chance to attract visitors from outside the town. It’s a tradition we can build on.
“There’s a lot of people here today I haven’t seen before, and hopefully it will continue for the next 20 years.
“People can get behind the market by getting down here, buying things and supporting the town’s events.”
“We have our new town centre development committee which is going to be looking at market activities, the high street and aims to improve the town from parking to toilet facilities, so everything is all part of the mix.”
Bear Town in Cullompton, Devon.
We had big expectations after seeing and hearing lots of great feedback of this unique children’s play centre. Unlike anything you’ve ever taken your child to before, Bear Town is the perfect place for your role play loving little ones!
Here you’ll find amazingly detailed and nicely scaled role play settings including hair salon, car garage, vet surgery, domestic home, fire depot, post office, supermarket, bank, theatre, building site, cafe, and probably my favourite, the police station (with secret jail-brake tunnel).
My 3 year old loved exploring all areas and getting fully involved in the dressing up! The layout and size allows plenty of free flowing play and interaction with other children, whilst still allowing children to have their own space. Our daughter often had one role play area to herself for a while, until another child joined in. A nice little touch and backing up their mantra ‘Learn through play’ was that in each role play area, there was a QR code to scan for educational content specific to the area your little one was exploring. I didn’t try this, as it was our first time there and we focussed on the play, although next time, this W ill surely add to the experience.
Car parking is huge and free so no need to worry about that. The toilets are spacious and clean, with separate baby changing rooms. This helped as we had a 6 month old.
The cafe onsite was reasonably priced and the food was lovely, offering both adult and children menus. High chairs are plentiful too. Views out of the cafe are onto the surrounding assault course (The Bear Trail) and the surrounding countryside.
Overall, this Devon attraction is unique, offering children an environment for them to dive into what ever takes their imagination! The staff and facilities were great.
We’ll be back!

Cullompton (/ˈkʌləmptən/) is a town and civil parish in the district of Mid Devon and the county of Devon, England, locally known as Cully. It is 13 miles (21km) miles north-north-east of Exeter and lies on the River Culm. In 2011 the parish as a whole had a population of 8,499 while the built-up area of the town had a population of 7,439
The earliest evidence of occupation is from the Roman period – there was a fort on the hill above the town and occupation in the current town centre. Columtune was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will. In the past the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then later leather working and paper manufacture.
A large proportion of town's inhabitants are commuters but there is still some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market held on the second Saturday of every month which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. It is home to two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth-century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth-century house known as The Walronds. The centre of the town is the only conservation area in Mid Devon and there are seven grade II* listed buildings and ninety grade II listed buildings in the parish.
