High Bickington is a village and civil parish in the district of Torridge, in rural Devon, England. Perched on relatively high ground, it offers pleasant views across the rolling North Devon countryside and retains a historic core of stone cottages and a parish church that reflect its medieval and later agricultural origins.
The local economy remains rooted in farming, while many residents commute to nearby towns; village life is centred on a pub, village hall and active community groups, with seasonal fetes and local events sustaining a strong social atmosphere. The surrounding lanes and footpaths also make it a quiet spot for walkers and anyone seeking a rural Devonshire setting.
