Georgeham sits a few miles inland from the north coast of North Devon in the county of Devon, England. The parish occupies rolling farmland and hedged lanes above dramatic surf beaches such as Croyde and Woolacombe, with the long sweep of Saunton Sands and the dunes of Braunton Burrows close by; the area lies within the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is popular with walkers and visitors seeking surf and sea air.
The village retains a traditional feel, with a village green, historic stone and thatched buildings and a medieval church dedicated to St George. Locally the economy mixes agriculture with tourism, holiday accommodation and small local businesses, and community life is marked by village events, the pub and the village hall; its layered history and coastal links give the parish a quietly resilient, close-knit character.
