Cheriton Bishop is a small, gently spread village and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, sitting in a classic patchwork of rolling farmland, hedgerows and narrow lanes. The name reflects its long history - "Cheriton" meaning a church settlement and the "Bishop" element pointing to historic ties with the Exeter bishopric - and the village retains a cosy feel with older stone cottages, a parish church and a traditional village pub at its heart.
Economically the area is still shaped by agriculture and small local businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby towns and the city of Exeter. It’s popular with walkers and quiet-country seekers, being within easy reach of moorland country and the wider attractions of Dartmoor, while community life centres on village events, the hall and local clubs rather than tourism-driven bustle.
