Abbotskerswell is a small village and civil parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, set on the southern edge of the Haldon Hills with views across the Teign valley. The compact centre of stone cottages and narrow lanes sits amid farmland and wooded slopes, making it attractive to walkers and to people who commute to nearby Newton Abbot and further afield.
Historically the manor belonged to the abbots of Torre Abbey, which is reflected in the village’s name and its medieval church and listed buildings. Today Abbotskerswell combines an agricultural hinterland with small local businesses, a village hall, pub and active community groups, so village life keeps a strong social flavour even as many residents work in the surrounding towns.
