Bishopsteignton is a compact village and civil parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, sitting on the south‑facing slopes above the estuary of the River Teign, a short distance from the seaside towns of Shaldon and Teignmouth. The village retains a mix of thatched cottages, Georgian houses and narrow lanes, and its name reflects historic ecclesiastical links with the Bishop of Exeter.
Today Bishopsteignton has a strong local community with pubs, a village hall and small businesses; many residents commute to Exeter while farming, horticulture and a modest tourism trade support the local economy. It’s popular with walkers and visitors for estuary views and countryside access, including nearby sections of the South West Coast Path.
