Latest reviews | Events in Cullompton | 10 Places to Stay

The Ancient market town of Cullompton lies on the river Culm and is set in some of the finest unspoilt scenery in the West country. The fast flowing waters of the Culm means there are many old redundant mills spotted around this area. Today the town still boasts working paper and textile mills. Cold Harbour Mill near Cullompton is a working museum, where volunteers show the part played in wool production by each piece of machinery, some of which are over 100 years old. There are two suggested origins for the town’s name; from the Irish St. Columba who preached in the area in 549 or from the Saxon word “Columtune”, Meaning “The town on the Culm”. Cullompton still features an old market place and the open area where the market is held today is called the Bull Ring. St. Andrew’s church was built in the early 15th Century, with the tower added a Century later. However, a church has stood here since Saxon times. Nearby visitors can explore Hemyock Castle, said to have been a Roman stronghold. Legends of buried treasure and secret passages surround the site. Cullompton offers accommodation ranging from luxury hotels to caravan and camping sites.
