Gittisham is a small rural parish and village set in the rolling farmland of East Devon, in Devon, England, a few miles from the market town of Honiton. It lies in the valley of the River Tale on the fringes of the Blackdown Hills, with hedged lanes, orchards and a network of footpaths that make it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quiet Devon landscape.

The village retains a historic core of stone and thatched cottages and a parish church, while mixed farming and orcharding remain visible in the local economy. Many residents commute to nearby centres such as Honiton or Exeter, and a village hall and occasional community events help keep social life active, giving Gittisham a peaceful but engaged rural character.
