Hatherleigh is a small market town and parish in West Devon, Devon, England, sitting on the western fringe of Dartmoor. It lies among rolling farmland and hedged lanes, making it a handy gateway for walkers and riders heading onto the moor and a pleasant stop for anyone exploring rural Devon.
The town retains a strong agricultural character: regular markets, livestock sales and an annual agricultural show still bring the countryside community together. A compact centre of stone and rendered buildings with independent shops, cafes and pubs gives Hatherleigh a friendly, community-led feel and a modest tourist trade from those seeking a quieter, traditional Devon experience.
