Coryton is a small, rural civil parish in West Devon, Devon, in south‑west England. Set among rolling farmland and hedgerow‑lined lanes, it consists mainly of scattered farmsteads and a handful of cottages rather than a distinct village centre, giving it a quietly agricultural character.
With medieval roots visible in old field patterns and historic farmhouses, local life still centres on farming and small rural enterprises, with many residents relying on nearby market towns for services. The parish appeals to walkers and country‑lovers for its tranquillity and its proximity to the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the open moorland of Dartmoor, while occasional parish events and meetings help maintain a close‑knit community spirit.
