Arlington is a small, rural parish in North Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and estate woodland. The parish is best known for the National Trust estate of Arlington Court, a striking historic house with formal gardens, a carriage collection and parkland that draws visitors and walkers from the surrounding area and nearby towns such as Barnstaple.
Locally the economy and social life still revolve around mixed farming and small-scale tourism linked to the estate; the community is compact and village‑centred, with occasional events and countryside pursuits. Historic ties to the long‑standing local gentry are visible in the designed landscape and old lanes, while the combination of quiet lanes, woods and public paths makes it popular for day visitors looking for a peaceful Devonshire countryside experience.
