Nymet Rowland is a small, rural parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set among the rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of the region. The settlement is dispersed rather than nucleated, with stone cottages, farmsteads and narrow lanes; it sits within easy reach of the market town of Crediton and the city of Exeter, and provides a quiet countryside base for those working locally or commuting to larger centres.
The name "Nymet" hints at ancient, possibly Celtic, sacred associations and the area has a long rural history reflected in a small medieval parish church and a handful of listed buildings. Agriculture remains the mainstay of the local economy, while village life is characterised by a close-knit community, occasional local events and conservation-minded residents keen to preserve the landscape and historic character.
