Drewsteignton is a small rural parish and village in West Devon, Devon, England, perched on the northern edge of Dartmoor above the dramatic Teign valley. The settlement has a traditional feel of stone cottages, narrow lanes and a medieval core, and it benefits from its proximity to the striking Teign Gorge and the National Trust's Castle Drogo, making it popular with walkers and visitors exploring the moor.
Locally the economy is still shaped by farming and small-scale tourism, with a few pubs, B&Bs and community facilities supporting village life. The parish retains historic features such as its old church and village green, and an active local community organises events that keep a sense of rural tradition alongside the steady flow of visitors.
