Stoke Gabriel sits on the tidal edge of the River Dart estuary in the heart of the South Hams, Devon, England, a few miles south of Totnes. The village is centred around a small quay and creek with moorings and slipways, narrow lanes, thatched cottages and waterside houses that make it a popular base for sailing, kayaking and estuary walks.
Historically a modest trading and fishing settlement, the village retains a medieval parish church (St Mary’s Church) and a strong rural character tied to dairy, orchards and seasonal tourism; today the local economy mixes agriculture, small businesses and a buoyant hospitality scene, while an active community runs regattas, a village hall and village sports that keep local life lively.
