Silverton is a compact village and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland roughly seven miles north of Exeter. The settlement sits on gently undulating countryside with hedgerow-dotted lanes and fields, giving a distinctly rural feel while remaining within easy commuting distance of the city.
The village has a strong sense of history and community: a notable medieval parish church and a main street of stone cottages and period houses are complemented by surviving manor buildings and several listed structures. Local life centres on farms, small businesses, a primary school, village hall and pubs, with regular community events and an economy that mixes agriculture with people commuting to nearby towns.
