More Images Welcome to the website for Landkey, a peaceful village located within the rolling green hills of North Devon, England.
Landkey is characterised by a sense of community among its residents, especially among those who have dwelt here for many years and who have an intimate knowledge of the history and culture of the village. Landkey has welcomed many new residents in recent years as successive house-building projects have been completed and it is hoped that initiatives such as the establishment of this website will help to strengthen this sense of community by making available to all residents information about their village in a readily-accessible format.

Remembrance
Residents of Landkey turned out in large numbers for Remembrance Sunday, 10th November 2019.
The service took place at 10:00 am in Landkey village hall and was led by Chris James. In his sermon, Chris reminded the gathered church members and village residents of the awful losses of human life during the D-Day landings. He drew inspiration from the work of West Country poet, David Prowse whose poem, "Normandy", evoking the emotions of that time, was especially poignant.
The 40 or so people who met in the village hall were joined by many more at the war memorial, swelling numbers to as many as 100 to observe the Act of Remembrance. Wreaths were laid by Bill Parker on behalf of Landkey Parish Council and by Tom Wilks on behalf of St Paul's Church.
This year, the war memorial was draped with a garland of 365 knitted poppies, one for each day since the last Remembrance Day. The industrious knitters were revealed to be Karen Trigger, Sue Ackland, Anita Thorne and Liz Davis. Their work received a round of applause!

From Mary Metivier on 1st November 2019:
To whom it may concern
It has come to my attention, over the last two years, that Tanners Road/Birch Road traffic has increased.
The point being that some people do not drive with proper care and attention, with some people speeding. After flagging one car down (as it was going fast) I asked the driver to slow down as people were walking up the road. I was told, not too politely, that he couldn’t see anyone and in any case it was a 60 mph limit and he would drive at that speed if he wanted to.
So my question is should a new speed limit be looked at as walkers, horse riders, cyclists and indeed car drivers could be at risk.
