Meshaw is a small, rural parish tucked into the rolling farmland of North Devon, Devon, in England, lying a short distance from the market town of South Molton and on the southern fringes of Exmoor. The area is characterised by hedgerows, small woodlands and dispersed farmsteads, offering quiet lanes and good countryside walking rather than any built-up centre.
Historically the settlement has an agricultural character and retains traditional stone cottages and a parish church at its heart, with farming still important to the local economy alongside a modest contribution from tourism and rural services. Social life tends to be the kind you find in small English villages: a close-knit community with occasional local events, conservation-minded land use and easy access to the wider amenities and markets of nearby towns.
