Coffinswell is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Teignbridge in south Devon, England, set on high, rolling farmland a few miles from Newton Abbot and within easy reach of Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. The landscape is a mix of hedged fields, small woodlands and winding lanes with long views over the surrounding valleys, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet country base.
Historically it has medieval roots and retains a village church and several attractive old cottages; the name is usually explained as deriving from an early personal name plus “well” rather than anything macabre. The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by people who commute to nearby towns, and the community keeps a village-centred social life with traditional events and a strong sense of local identity.
