West Charleton is a small rural settlement in the civil parish of Charleton, within the district of South Hams in Devon, England. Tucked into rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes, it has the quietly coastal-influenced landscape typical of the South Hams, with easy access to nearby market towns and the shoreline.
The settlement is best known locally for West Charleton House and its gardens, a handsome country house and ornamental parkland that attracts visitors in season; otherwise the economy is dominated by mixed farming, orchards and a modest visitor trade. Socially it remains a small, close-knit community where historic estate landscapes and parish life still shape the character of the place.
