Yealmpton is a substantial village and civil parish in South Hams, Devon, England, tucked into the green valley of the River Yealm a few miles east of Plymouth. The parish mixes rolling farmland and orchards with the mudflats and saltmarsh of the estuary, and its setting gives easy access to nearby creeks and coastal villages such as Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, which add a maritime feel to the area.
Historically known for market gardening and fruit growing and once linked to Plymouth by a branch railway, the community today blends agriculture and tourism with a sizable number of commuters. There is an active village life centred on the parish church, village hall, local pubs and school, and conservation-minded residents value the landscape and wildlife along the river and surrounding countryside.
