Charleton is a small, largely rural civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England. It sits amid rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland close to the south coast, with a landscape that suits walking, wildlife and small‑scale agriculture rather than heavy industry.
The settlement pattern is of scattered hamlets, historic farmsteads and an old parish church, reflecting centuries of agricultural life. Today the local economy blends farming with tourism and commuting to nearby market towns, and the community remains lively with village halls, fêtes and local clubs that sustain a strong social fabric.
