Holbeton is a compact, rural village and civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England, tucked into the wooded valley of the River Erme and within easy reach of the South Devon coast and the wider South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding landscape is a patchwork of rolling farmland, orchards and small woods, with narrow lanes and traditional stone cottages giving the settlement a very countryside feel.
The built heart of the parish features a historic parish church, several listed houses and former manor estates, reflecting a long agricultural past. Local life today mixes farming with tourism and small-scale rural enterprises, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Plymouth; community life remains lively with a village hall, events and a pub that anchor social activity.
