Morchard Bishop is a small village and civil parish in Mid Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes typical of central Devon, a short drive from market towns such as Crediton and Tiverton, and is known for its quiet rural character rather than any large commercial centre.
The village retains a historic centre with a parish church and a number of older cottages and listed buildings, reflecting its long agricultural past. Local life revolves around farming, a handful of local services and an active community scene - village hall activities, a pub, school and seasonal fêtes or shows - making it a representative example of countryside Devon life.
