Stoke Rivers is a small, quiet parish set in the rolling farmland of North Devon, Devon, in England. The settlement is essentially a scattering of farms, cottages and a compact village centred on a small historic church and former manor buildings - the "Rivers" element of the name reflects medieval landholding. It sits within easy reach of Barnstaple and the North Devon coast and Exmoor, so it makes a pleasant base for walkers and those seeking rural tranquillity.
Locally the economy is still largely mixed farming with a few small rural businesses, and the social life is that of a close-knit village with occasional community events; several buildings and lanes show clear historic character. Rather than busy tourist facilities, Stoke Rivers offers quiet lanes, hedgerows and countryside views that epitomise traditional Devon village life.
