Stoke Gabriel is a compact village and parish on the wooded banks of the River Dart in the South Hams district of Devon, England. Sitting on a tidal creek with a small quay and moorings, it’s long been popular with leisure sailors and visitors exploring the estuary, and it lies within easy reach of Dartmouth and Totnes, making it a peaceful base for enjoying the South Devon coast.
With historic roots in both maritime and agricultural life, the village retains narrow lanes, stone and thatched cottages and an old parish church, while the local economy today combines farming, small businesses and tourism. Community life is lively for a place of its size, with sailing events, village fêtes and active clubs helping to sustain local services and a strong sense of place.
