The small parish of Upton Hellions in Mid Devon, Devon, England is a sparsely populated, rural area of rolling farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes. Houses and farms are scattered across the landscape and the parish lies within easy reach of Exeter and the market town of Crediton, so while agriculture remains important some residents commute to nearby towns.
The name reflects the medieval Hellions family who once held the manor, and the parish retains an intimate scale with a small church and manor house among its notable buildings. Local life is shaped by farming, landscape conservation and a close-knit community atmosphere typical of Devon’s smaller parishes, giving it a strong sense of history and rural identity.
