North Bovey is a small village and parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, sitting on the northern fringe of Dartmoor in the valley of the River Bovey. The surrounding landscape is classic granite moorland and rolling farmland, with evidence of prehistoric activity on the nearby commons and a medieval parish church at the village heart, lending a strong sense of history and place.
The local economy has long combined agriculture and small-scale stoneworking with a growing emphasis on tourism and outdoor recreation - walkers and nature-lovers use the parish as a quiet gateway to the moors. Socially it remains a close-knit rural community with traditional stone cottages, lanes and seasonal gatherings that underline its enduring village character.
