Marldon is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Hams, in Devon, England, sitting on the gentle hills just inland from the coast of Torbay and close to Paignton. Its position gives pleasant views across the rolling south Devon countryside and, on a clear day, towards the coastline of the English Riviera; Dartmoor is also a short drive away, so countryside and coastal attractions are both readily accessible.
Marldon retains a village feel with a mix of older stone buildings, farmland and a mainly residential character; many people commute to nearby towns such as Newton Abbot or work in the tourism and service industries centred on the coast. There is an active local community with village organisations and events, and the area’s history and rural setting appeal to people looking for a quieter base close to both seaside amenities and countryside walking.
