Puddington is a small, quietly rural parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, characterised by rolling pastures, hedgerow-lined lanes and a scattering of stone cottages and farmsteads. Historically agricultural, its landscape still reflects medieval field patterns and traditional livestock and dairy farming, though many households now combine farming with small-scale tourism, craft businesses or commuting to larger towns.
Locally there is a strong sense of community centred on parish events, walking routes and conservation of the countryside; the hamlet's tranquillity and period buildings make it typical of Mid Devon's quieter inland parishes rather than a centre of commercial activity. Visitors and residents alike value the open skies, access to footpaths and the slower pace of village life.
