Leah Wood is a charming and secluded woodland retreat tucked away in the heart of the Devon countryside, lying between Exmoor and Dartmoor.

Though modest in size, this peaceful woodland has much to offer. A gentle stream traces the northern edge of the site, providing scenic views across open fields. Its remote location, far from any roads, makes it a haven for wildlife—deer are frequent visitors.

Scattered throughout the wood are several open glades and clearings, ideal for setting up camp or enjoying woodland-based activities. The woodland is predominantly oak, beech, and birch, with holly, hazel, and hawthorn adding to the diversity. The terrain is mostly flat, making it easy to explore and enjoy.

At just over 1.6 acres, Leah Wood is an easily manageable size—perfect for those looking to take their first step into woodland ownership.

Conveniently positioned in mid-Devon, both the north and south coasts are within easy reach. The nearby market town of Chulmleigh provides local amenities, including shops and restaurants, just a short drive away.

The ward is Witheridge and the County Council is Devon.
