The parish of Manaton sits on the eastern edge of Dartmoor within the district of Teignbridge, Devon, England. The area is classic Dartmoor country - granite-built cottages, stone walls and narrow lanes giving way to open moor, tors and heather-clad commons, so it’s popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet rural landscape.
Historically a small farming community with links to the moorland industries that shaped the region, Manaton still centres on a compact village core with a historic parish church and village green. Today the economy mixes agriculture, rural services and tourism, and the parish retains a tight-knit social life with seasonal events and an interest in local history and wildlife.
