Welcome to the website for Landkey, a peaceful village located within the rolling green hills of North Devon, England.

Landkey is characterised by a sense of community among its residents, especially among those who have dwelt here for many years and who have an intimate knowledge of the history and culture of the village. Landkey has welcomed many new residents in recent years as successive house-building projects have been completed and it is hoped that initiatives such as the establishment of this website will help to strengthen this sense of community by making available to all residents information about their village in a readily-accessible format.

Link Road Upgrade News

Improvement work on the North Devon Link is now proceeding and will eventually lead to better road connections. While the work is under way, though, it will mean some inconvenience for motorists. This will largely involve a reduced speed limit through the roadworks and occasional diversions through Landkey to accommodate abnormal loads. Details are given in these documents:

    MILLENNIUM GREEN PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

    MILLENNIUM GREEN PLANS FOR 2024

    At an open meeting in the Village Hall in September over forty people heard
    short presentations on ways in which Landkey people are concerned about
    Nature and what they are doing about it, -from hedgehogs to beavers; there is
    a lot going on. Following its pioneering work in saving mazzard trees the Green
    is playing an important part, such as aiding pollination with its meadow and
    encouraging birds in its woodland. Working with others, the Green’s trustees
    are now seeking funding to make the Green an even more attractive place for
    Landkey people and Nature in 2024, with new information boards on what is
    going on.
    Volunteers are a key part of this, whether inspecting daily or doing practical
    work; thank you! Watch the next News for dates of birdbox and pruning work
    in February, also for a session on using inaturalst.org and bringing together
    info on Landkey’s nature. Working Parties are planned for Sat 27 April, 25 May
    and 23 May on the Green from 9.30 to 11. New helpers are very welcome.
    Those at the September meeting voted that Landkey should work to make
    itself a contender for a Devon award as a Wildlife Community.

Our Creight's Stores at The Castle Inn

The shop which Creighton Kirk and his family have opened in The Castle Inn has been dubbed "Our Creight's Stores", after Arkwright's shop in "Open All Hours". The name seems to have stuck!

They also an outreach Post Office service on Thursdays from 9:30am until 12:30 pm.

The Landkey Sculpture. Created by local artist Polly Pocock, this distinctive artwork stands at the entrance to the northern side of village and is made up of local stone from nearby Venn Quarry and is in the shape of the Landkey parish boundary. The sculpture was commissioned by Landkey Parish Council and was inspired following a consultation with local people to seek ideas on what Landkey meant to them. It was unveiled on July 25th 2009.

Landkey's Millennium Green, opened in June 2000, is appreciated daily by local residents who make use of this valuable amenity. At the time, it was one of just 250 Greens created nationwide as part of the government's plans to mark the millennium.
