St. Giles in the Wood is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Torridge in Devon, England, situated a few miles east of Great Torrington among rolling farmland and wooded valleys on the edge of north Devon.
Traditionally agricultural, the parish retains a scatter of stone cottages, lanes and small woods and is centred on a historic parish church; many residents now commute to nearby towns for work, while visitors appreciate quiet walks, the nearby River Torridge and easy access to the broader North Devon countryside. Community life is understated but steady, with village events and local groups keeping the social fabric tight.
