Bow is a small rural village and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England. Set in rolling hedged farmland it retains a compact village core of stone cottages, a parish church and a village pub that reflect its traditional character.
Historically the settlement grew as an agricultural parish and farming still shapes the local economy, while a number of residents commute to larger towns for work. The community maintains a village hall and seasonal events, and the surrounding lanes and hedgerows make it a pleasant spot for walkers and visitors seeking a quieter rural landscape.
