Harford is a small, rural parish in the district of South Hams, in Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and small pockets of woodland. The landscape is typical of South Devon’s quieter interior, with winding lanes and farmsteads and is within easy reach of the fringes of Dartmoor and the South Devon coast, making it popular with walkers and cyclists seeking a peaceful base.

Locally the community remains small and close-knit, with an economy still rooted in agriculture alongside commuters travelling to nearby towns such as Ivybridge and Plymouth. The parish has medieval origins and several traditional cottages and farm buildings, modest parish amenities and the kind of seasonal village events and fêtes that sustain rural social life in the area.
