Bittaford is a small village in the district of South Hams, Devon, England, sitting just outside the market town of Ivybridge on the southern fringe of the Dartmoor National Park. It enjoys a tidy rural setting of rolling farmland and hedged lanes with easy access to larger urban centres such as Plymouth and Exeter, so it often feels like a quiet commuter outpost with countryside on the doorstep.

Historically the community grew from agriculture and local trades, and today the village is a mix of older cottages and more recent housing with a modest programme of local clubs and events. It’s popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the Dartmoor foothills and the wider South Devon landscape, and the social scene reflects a small, close-knit rural character rather than any big commercial centre.
