Cullompton

Cullompton combines impressive architectural heritage with walks, regional products and insights into the textile past of the Culm Valley. Those planning a trip will find a range of reasons here for a varied stay: historic buildings, distinctive ecclesiastical art, a family-friendly town trail, a public footpath along the Mill Leat and a market featuring produce from the region.

Discover history and distinctive buildings

One of the notable attractions is The Walronds, a listed building with the highest level of protection, Grade I. After a fire in 1602, it was rebuilt between 1603 and 1605. A restoration programme for The Walronds was completed in 2014. This gives the building several historical points of interest for visitors who want to experience Cullompton not only as a place to stay, but also as a destination for culture and history.

The Parish Church of St Andrew also preserves remarkable traces of past centuries. The nave and the northern and southern aisles may date from the first half of the 15th century. The church also contains the Golgotha, which is regarded as a uniquely preserved example. The Roman Catholic Church of St Boniface adds a distinctive note with its striking Spanish architecture. Those interested in different forms of religious architecture can include these buildings as separate cultural highlights in their travel plans.

Walks with historical and regional connections

The Cullompton Town Trail is a family-friendly walk through the town's history. It is therefore a way to explore Cullompton together on a manageable circular route. A public footpath also runs along the Mill Leat.

The Culm Valley Cloth Trail offers another perspective. Its stations provide insights into how textiles and clothing were produced, financed and distributed worldwide in the Culm Valley over many centuries. The trail thus focuses on economic and craft developments and complements visits to buildings and churches with the history of an entire region.

Regional products and practical information

The Cullompton Farmers' Market showcases locally grown fruit and vegetables, artisan cheeses, fresh dairy products and meat from the region.

By car, you can reach Cullompton via the M5, Junction 28, and then the A373. The nearest railway station listed for Cullompton is Tiverton Parkway.
