The small village and civil parish of Hockworthy sits in Mid Devon in the county of Devon, England. It is a quiet, rural community set among rolling farmland, narrow lanes, hedgerows and small streams, with a low population and scattered farmsteads rather than a compact urban centre.
Locally the economy is predominantly agricultural, with dairy and sheep farming shaping the landscape, while a modest cluster of historic stone cottages and a medieval parish church hint at the area’s long history. Social life tends to be informal and community‑focused, centred on parish events and nearby market towns for services, and the locality is appreciated by walkers and those seeking rural tranquillity and traditional Devon countryside character.
