Kingsteignton is a historic settlement in the heart of the Teignbridge district of Devon, England, sitting just a short distance from Newton Abbot and on the fringe of the Dartmoor uplands. Its age is evident in a compact historic core and lanes that speak of medieval origins, while the nearby River Teign and surrounding rolling countryside give the place a strong sense of place and easy access to outdoor walking and riding.
Today the community mixes a commuter population and local businesses with small-scale industry and agriculture, supported by a lively village/town social life of clubs, pubs and annual events that keep local identity strong. It’s a practical spot for people who want rural Devon character close to larger towns and the services of the South Devon transport network.
