Kingston is a small rural village and civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England. The name comes from Old English for a "king's estate", and the settlement retains a quietly historic feel with a medieval parish church, scattered farmsteads and stone cottages set among the hedged, rolling farmland that characterises the area.
Traditionally agricultural - dairy, mixed farming and orchards - the local economy now includes holiday lets and commuters alongside long‑standing farming families. Its peaceful lanes, proximity to the South Devon coast and estuaries, and good walking and birdwatching make it popular with visitors, while village‑hall events and small community activities keep local social life lively.
