Village Information

As part of our service to the community this section brings together information and items which might be of interest to villagers and visitors alike.


Petrockstowe is a small village nestled in the rolling hills and breath taking, picturesque countryside of North Devon. Our community has a uniqueness among other villages in Devon with an amazing atmosphere and some stunning scenery, making it one of the finest places in the country to both live and visit. 

If you are new to the village or planning to move here you can request a Welcome information booklet by clicking here.

One of Petrockstowe’s finest assets is its strong sense of community spirit which, coupled with an abundance of events taking place throughout the year makes for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, villagers may choose to join in with one the many community groups. Take a look at our Village Calendar to see what's on next.


The village is further enhanced by a range of facilities. These include our Community Church, an extensive recreation field, and a modern, well equipped village hall (the Baxter Hall).
