Village in the Blackdowns...East Devon, UK

WELCOME to this East Devon village, we have one pub, one social club, a village stores and post office, a hairdressers shop, an Indian restaurant and takeaway, a mobile hairdresser, a village hall, a community centre and a doctors' surgery.

We also have an air and parachute centre with adjacent free-house bar and food facilities, microlight training, small air museum, nearby gliding club, a go-kart circuit, an equestrian centre, a village church and abbey, a methodist church, and a youth club.

There are two playing fields, a bowling club, a football club, typically quaint Devon cottages, a modern housing estate, a busy industrial estate, a village pond, Lakeview Manor, a trout farm and fishery, a plant nursery, plus nearby caravan and camping park, a garage, all the usual related societies and a parish magazine. In fact you could say Dunkeswell is a model village...

Something for everyone really, I hope? - Editor
