Abbotskerswell is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Teignbridge, in rural Devon, England, set on the lower slopes of the Haldon Hills a few miles west of Newton Abbot. The position above the Teign valley gives it easy access to lanes and woodlands popular with walkers, while remaining convenient for commuting to Exeter and Torquay.
The village has a strong community feel with a parish church, village green, local pubs and a primary school, and its name reflects historic ecclesiastical ownership; the local economy mixes small-scale farming and businesses with many residents who work in nearby towns. Period features and regular community events help preserve a distinctly rural Devon character despite modern commuter links.
