West Putford is a small, rural parish in the district of Torridge, in Devon, England, set amid the rolling hills and hedged fields typical of north‑west Devon. Narrow lanes, dispersed farms and pockets of woodland give it a quiet, pastoral character and make it popular with walkers exploring the countryside between nearby villages.
The community is small and largely agricultural, with dairy and mixed farming alongside a few holiday lets and traditional stone cottages; a parish church and several listed buildings reflect a long rural history. Social life tends to be close‑knit, centred on local events and shared amenities with neighbouring parishes, rather than on commercial centres.
