Huntshaw is a small rural parish in the district of Torridge in Devon, England, set amid rolling farmland and hedgerowed lanes a short drive from the market towns of Bideford and Great Torrington. The landscape is typical North Devon countryside with fine views over the nearby valleys, and it attracts walkers and anyone after a quieter country pace of life.
Historically agricultural, the parish retains a scattering of historic farmhouses and a traditional parish church, and its modest population supports a tightâknit local community with village events and clubs rather than large industry; many people commute to neighbouring towns while others work in farming or small-scale rural tourism. The combination of heritage buildings, working farmland and easy access to the amenities of Torridge gives the area a quietly timeless character.
