Chillington is a small village in the district of South Hams, in rural Devon, England, sitting close to the Salcombe–Kingsbridge estuary and the wider South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The setting is typical of the south Devon coast - rolling farmland, hedgerows and winding lanes descending towards tidal creeks - and the location makes it popular with walkers, sailors and anyone seeking quieter access to the coast.
Historically a modest agricultural and maritime community, Chillington has increasingly felt the influence of tourism and second‑home ownership while retaining a strong local identity; many visitors use it as a base for exploring nearby Kingsbridge and Salcombe, or for enjoying the estuary, local pubs and country pursuits. The village offers a peaceful, traditional Devon feel rather than resort-style facilities, which is part of its enduring appeal.
