High Bickington is a rural village and civil parish in Torridge, Devon, England, sitting on higher ground that gives broad views across the surrounding hedged farmland and valley landscapes. Its setting of lanes, stone cottages and occasional thatch reflects a long agricultural history, with pockets of woodland and rolling fields forming the local scenery.
The village has medieval origins and an historic parish church, and today the local economy is still rooted in farming alongside small businesses and residents who commute to larger centres such as Barnstaple and Great Torrington. Community life is active for a village of its size, centred on the village hall, social clubs and seasonal events that sustain a strong sense of place.
