The small village and civil parish of Bishop's Nympton sits in North Devon, in rural Devon, England, amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes that fall into wooded river valleys. The parish's scattered hamlets and stone cottages overlook the valley of the River Nymet and it is within easy reach of Exmoor National Park and the North Devon coast, with market towns such as South Molton and Barnstaple a short drive away.
Historically the "Bishop's" prefix reflects long ecclesiastical links - lands once held by the Bishop of Exeter - and the village centre is anchored by a historic church and several listed buildings. Today the local economy is largely agricultural and the community is close‑knit, sustaining village events, modest amenities and countryside pursuits that make it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quiet slice of rural Devon life.
