Copplestone is a small village and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, tucked into rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of this part of the county. It has a railway station on the Tarka Line, providing regular links to Exeter and Barnstaple, and functions as a quiet rural service and commuter village for surrounding towns.
The village is perhaps best known locally for the ancient "Copplestone Cross", a large stone monument and cross-base with antiquarian interest and a bit of folklore attached; otherwise its character is shaped by agriculture, small local businesses and a close-knit community centred on a village hall and pub, giving it a distinctly lived-in, rural feel rather than tourist gloss.
