The village and parish of Bishopsteignton sits on the south bank of the River Teign in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England. Tucked on a slope above the estuary between Newton Abbot and the coastal towns of Teignmouth and Shaldon, it affords wide views across mudflats and towards the Haldon Hills.
Historically the manor belonged to the bishops of Exeter, and the village still retains a medieval parish church alongside rows of older cottages; agriculture, market gardening and small‑scale fishing shaped the local economy and today it combines commuter households with independent businesses and an active community life. Popular with walkers and birdwatchers, Bishopsteignton stages local events and conservation projects that reflect a strong village identity.
