The church, an attractive building, entirely late 15th Century, except for the chancel which was rebuilt in 1870, is dedicated to St Paul.

Landkey is also quite famous for its Mazzard fruit which was discovered by local farmers in the early 1900s. Landkey Parish Council has rescued Mazzard trees from the brink of extinction. The sweet cherry was once common in North Devon, but had almost died out when the parish council won a grant to pave the way for creating a new orchard as part of a wider Millennium Green project.

Although a rural location, Landkey is ideally situated, being only 3 miles from North Devon’s regional centre of Barnstaple.
