Knowstone is a small, largely agricultural parish in North Devon, Devon, England, tucked into rolling farmland and a network of quiet lanes and hedgerows. The settlement is made up of a scattering of stone cottages, farms and a traditional parish church, giving it a distinctly rural, historic character and a strong sense of place.
Farming - particularly dairy and sheep - still shapes the local economy and landscape, while older houses and field patterns hint at a long agricultural past. Within easy reach of the moors and coast, the area attracts walkers and people seeking country life; community activity tends to centre on village events, the church and a modest parish social life rather than commercial amenities.
