Our Community

Ugborough is a vibrant and welcoming community based in an essentially rural village in the South Hams. With a strong farming tradition, the village is now close enough to the A38 to allow commuting to both Plymouth and Exeter and, with rail links through Ivybridge and Totnes, some villagers also work part-time in London. However, the strong community sense of belonging and involvement continues with lots of activities taking place within the village itself.

These are some of the local organisations within Ugborough - there are also lots of local clubs and groups listed here
