Map of the UK

Ermington is a compact village and civil parish in the rural district of South Hams, Devon, England, sitting on rolling countryside above the valley of the River Erme. Its compact historic core of stone cottages and a medieval parish church hints at long settlement and agricultural roots, and the surrounding lanes and hedged fields make it attractive for walkers and anyone seeking a quiet Devonian landscape.

The local economy remains largely agricultural, with orchards, dairy and smallholdings alongside residents who commute into nearby towns such as Plymouth. Community life is lively for a village of its size, centred on a village hall, pub and seasonal fêtes, while the parish’s position keeps the South Devon coast and Dartmoor within easy reach for day trips.
