Bishop's Tawton is a small village and parish a few miles from Barnstaple in North Devon, Devon, England. It sits on the rolling farmland of the River Taw valley and has a medieval parish church and other historic buildings; the “Bishop’s” in the name reflects a historic link with the bishops of Exeter.
The feel is typically rural Devon, with stone cottages, hedged lanes and an active village community; the local economy combines farming with people commuting into nearby towns. Visitors come for quiet countryside walks, views towards the estuary and coast, and the sense of local history rather than for major tourist attractions.
