Bickington is a small, quietly picturesque village in North Devon, within the county of Devon, England. Set among rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes it retains the character of a rural Devon settlement, with stone and whitewashed cottages and sweeping views across the surrounding countryside; it sits a short drive from the market town of Barnstaple and is within easy reach of the North Devon coast and Exmoor.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still leans on farming while many residents commute to nearby towns; the area attracts walkers and birdwatchers drawn by its mix of hedged fields, lanes and wildlife. Socially the village is typical of small North Devon communities, with a modest, close-knit feel and occasional local events that reflect rural traditions rather than a heavy tourist infrastructure.
