Christow is a small rural village in the district of Teignbridge in Devon, England, sitting in the Teign Valley on the southern fringe of Dartmoor beside the River Teign. The surrounding landscape of rolling farmland and woods gives easy access to moorland walking and riding while keeping larger centres such as Exeter and Newton Abbot within commuting distance.
With historic roots stretching back to medieval times, the village once had a station on the old Teign Valley railway and today retains a compact, close‑knit community centred on its parish church, village hall and a few local amenities. The local economy is largely agricultural with some rural services and small‑scale tourism; visitors tend to come for the scenery, history and outdoor pursuits rather than big attractions.
