Chudleigh's market charter dates back to 1309, but the limestone outcrop on the edge of town holds evidence of people far older than that.
A market town since 1309
Chudleigh's origins are Saxon, and the town grew in importance after the Norman Conquest, receiving a royal charter for an annual fair from Edward II in 1309. It later became a centre of wool production, though a huge fire in 1807 destroyed two-thirds of the town.
Prehistoric caves beneath the rock
Chudleigh Rock, a prominent limestone outcrop on the edge of town, is pierced by several caves. Pixie's Hole is a rare example of an Upper Palaeolithic 'living floor', while Cow Cave is a Scheduled Monument and Chudleigh Cavern, with its stalactites, is open to the public as a show cave.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
Chudleigh's history is built on market charters and limestone caves, not confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Teignbridge and the UK.
