Bickington is a small rural parish on the northern edge of Newton Abbot in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England. Set among rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes, it sits within easy reach of the eastern fringe of Dartmoor while remaining close to the market town's services and rail links.
The area has long agricultural roots, visible in surviving stone cottages, farmsteads and traditional field patterns, and local life centres on a modest village hall, parish activities and an engaged parish council. Many residents combine farming or small local businesses with commuting to nearby towns, so the parish retains a quiet rural character alongside modern connections.
