Stokeinteignhead is a small, historic village and parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, perched on south‑facing slopes above the River Teign estuary. It commands pleasant views across the water towards Teignmouth and Shaldon and sits within the rolling farmland that leads up to the Haldon Hills, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The settlement retains a quintessential Devon character - honey‑coloured stone buildings, thatched cottages and an old parish church - and a village community that balances farming traditions with commuting and small‑scale tourism. Local life revolves around community events, the church and a handful of amenities, and residents are often engaged in conserving the built and natural environment even as pressures from holiday lets and changing rural services shape the place.
