With a population of approximately 2000, Landkey is primarily a residential village from where many residents travel daily to work in Barnstaple and its surrounding areas.
The village does, though, support a number of businesses including the Post Office, Nearbuy convenience shop, the Castle Pub and Ladybirds Day Nursery all located in the main street, Blakeshill Road.
Landkey Primary School has 168 pupils recorded on its roll and was rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted at its 2011 inspection. It is located in Bakery Way, just off Manor Road at the western end of the village.
A little further along Manor Road, St Paul's Church may be found where Anglican services are held almost every Sunday. Its congregation of around 40 is friendly and welcomes anyone who would like to join them for worship.
Our village hall is available for hire and is situated close to the free car park off Blakeshill Road. Fuller details are given on our Village Hall pages.
A full-size level football pitch is located beside the Millennium Green together with changing facilities. An additional football field is located between the Green and Tanners Road where a children's play area is also situated.
