East Putford is a small, quietly rural parish in the district of Torridge in Devon, England. Perched among rolling farmland and hedged lanes, it feels typically Devonian with stone cottages, patchwork fields and occasional wooded combes; the landscape gives long views towards the River Torridge valley and the broader North Devon countryside.
Historically the settlement is agricultural in character and still centred on mixed farming and smallholdings, with a modest cluster of historic buildings and a parish church of medieval origin reflecting its long continuity. Community life tends to be quiet and local, linked into neighbouring settlements such as West Putford and market towns like Holsworthy, while lanes and footpaths make it a pleasant spot for walking and wildlife spotting rather than commercial tourism.
