Aveton Gifford is a small, riverside village in the South Hams district of Devon, England, sited where the tidal River Avon flows into the Kingsbridge estuary. The village has medieval origins and takes its name from the Norman Gifford family; its compact core around a church and old bridge gives a distinctly historic, sheltered feel and a strong connection to the water and surrounding estuarine landscape.
Today the place combines farming, boating and a quiet tourist trade, with good opportunities for birdwatching, kayaking and short coastal excursions to nearby Kingsbridge and Salcombe. Community life is active for its size, centred on a village hall, pub and primary school, and it sits within easy reach of the South West Coast Path, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful slice of South Devon life.
