Bow is a small rural village and civil parish in Mid Devon, set in the rolling farmland of Devon in England, a short drive from the market towns of Crediton and Tiverton. The landscape around the village is typical Devon countryside - hedgerows, narrow lanes and dispersed farms - making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet country base within reach of larger towns and the city of Exeter.
Locally the community centres on traditional village institutions such as the parish church, a village hall and a pub, while agriculture remains important alongside a number of residents who commute out for work. Bow has historic roots visible in its older buildings and lanes, and community life is marked by seasonal events and a generally close-knit, rural character rather than heavy industry or tourism.
