Charterlands is a largely rural electoral ward in the district of South Hams, in the county of Devon, England. It sits amid the patchwork of hedged fields, small woodlands and scattered farmsteads typical of the area and lies close to parts of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so coastal scenery and walking routes are a local draw. The built environment tends to be small villages and historic farmhouses rather than larger urban centres.
Economically the ward relies on a mix of agriculture, holiday lets and local services, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work; tourism and second homes play a noticeable role in the local economy. Community life is often centred on village halls, parish councils and volunteer groups, reflecting an older demographic profile in many rural parts of South Hams, alongside long-standing traditions linked to farming and coastal culture.
