Dunsford is a small rural community in Teignbridge, Devon, England, set in a wooded valley on the upper reaches of the River Teign and on the northern fringe of Dartmoor. The village retains a compact feel of stone cottages, a village green and a historic parish church, with the surrounding landscape of ancient woodland, hedged farmland and river corridors attractive to walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still mixes farming with small local services and a degree of commuting to nearby urban centres; the village is within easy commuting distance of Exeter. Community life tends to centre on the village hall, pub and seasonal events, while conservation interests and recreational use of the river and nearby moorland shape much of its contemporary character.
