Dean Prior is a small rural village and civil parish in the heart of the South Hams district of Devon, England, set amid rolling farmland a few miles from the market town of Totnes. The settlement is compact, centred on a medieval church and a former manor, and retains a number of listed buildings that give it a notably picturesque, historic character.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns, and the parish is popular with walkers who value its quiet lanes and easy access to the Dart valley and the fringe of Dartmoor. Community life is small-scale and neighbourly, with local efforts focused on conserving the landscape and historic fabric while sustaining traditional village activities.
