Woodland is a small rural civil parish in the district of Teignbridge, in Devon, England. Set amid rolling farmland and pockets of ancient mixed woodland on the fringes of Dartmoor, it keeps a quiet agricultural character with narrow lanes, scattered hamlets and stone-built cottages reflecting traditional Devon vernacular.
The local economy is largely agricultural - sheep and dairy farms and smallholdings - supplemented by a handful of commuters and holiday cottages; the area is popular with walkers and riders thanks to peaceful lanes and bridleways. Historic farmsteads and traces of medieval field patterns give the landscape a long continuity, while a small but active community life around village events and local institutions preserves a strong sense of place.
