George Nympton is a small, quietly pastoral civil parish in rural North Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and lanes. It sits a short drive from market towns such as South Molton and neighbours places like Bishop's Nympton, with the wilds of Exmoor and the North Devon coast within easy reach, so countryside tranquillity sits alongside access to larger centres and outdoor recreation.
The settlement has medieval roots and a compact, close-knit community of a few dozen households; its focal point is St George's Church and a handful of listed stone houses and farm buildings. Agriculture - particularly dairy and mixed farming - still shapes the local economy, while village life typically revolves around church and community events, historic buildings and the steady rhythm of the seasons.
