Lustleigh: The Enchanting Hidden Village You've Likely Never Heard Of

- Lustleigh is a quintessential English village nestled in Dartmoor National Park renowned for its idyllic landscapes.
The village's history dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, and its rich heritage is evident in the well-preserved medieval architecture and ancient granite buildings that line its narrow, winding streets.
Lustleigh’s population hovers around six hundred residents today and it was once greatly important in the landscape of Devonian history. So much so that Alfred the Great left ‘Suðeswyrðe’ (what Lustleigh was once called) to his youngest son in his will in 899. It’s thought that the village is therefore recorded as ‘Sutreworde‘ in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Ancient and in the very heart of the village, the Lustleigh Parish Church of St John the Baptist was constructed from the 13th-Century onwards. However, the site has probably been used for worship for much longer and is thought to have been the site of a Romano-British burial ground.
