Poughill is a small rural civil parish in Mid Devon, in the county of Devon, England, located a few miles from the market town of Crediton and within easy reach of Exeter. It sits amid the rolling Devon countryside of mixed pasture and arable fields, with narrow lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of traditional stone cottages and farmsteads.
The parish has a quiet, agricultural character with a history stretching back through the medieval period, and retains a compact, community feel: local life revolves around farming, occasional village gatherings and the parish church, while day-to-day shopping and services are generally taken care of in nearby towns. Its peaceful landscapes and vernacular buildings make it typical of rural Mid Devon rather than a centre of commerce or tourism.
