Days Out
From driving real diggers to a working Victorian wool mill — there’s plenty to do in Cullompton and across the Culm Valley.
Whether you’re entertaining the kids, showing visitors around or just fancy a day out close to home, here are some of the best things to see and do in and around Cully.
In & around Cullompton
Diggerland
On the edge of town, Diggerland is a one-of-a-kind adventure park where children (and grown-ups) can ride, drive and operate real diggers, dumpers and full-size machines. A brilliant, slightly bonkers family day out. Diggerland Devon →
St Andrew’s Church
One of the finest parish churches in the West Country — medieval craftsmanship, a painted rood screen and Burne-Jones stained glass. Free to visit. More about the town →
The Walronds
A beautifully restored Jacobean townhouse (1603–05) on Fore Street, open for fairs, workshops and events. walronds.com →
Heritage trail
Follow the self-guided trail through the historic town centre, with boards on Cullompton’s mills, merchants and the Great Fire of 1839.
Across the Culm Valley & beyond
Coldharbour Mill
At nearby Uffculme, one of the UK’s oldest woollen mills — a working wool museum spinning yarn since 1797, with steam days and riverside walks.
Grand Western Canal
Near Tiverton, a tranquil country park and canal — ideal for walking, cycling, horse-drawn barge trips and picnics.
Killerton (National Trust)
A grand house, working estate and glorious gardens near Broadclyst — a great all-weather day out a short drive away.
The Blackdown Hills
A designated National Landscape on Cully’s doorstep — walks, viewpoints (try Culmstock Beacon) and quiet country pubs. See our Local Villages.
