Broadhempston is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Teignbridge, in the rolling countryside of Devon, England, not far from the market town of Totnes. It has medieval origins and a conservation-village character, with traditional stone and thatched cottages clustered around a parish church and narrow lanes that open onto farmed valleys and hedgerow-lined fields.
The local economy remains largely rural with agriculture and small local enterprises, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Newton Abbot and Exeter. There is an active village community centred on the hall and pub, occasional fetes and clubs, and even the village name hints at historic hemp growing in the area, reflecting its long-standing agricultural roots.
