Highampton is a small rural parish tucked into the rolling farmland of West Devon, in the far west of Devon, England. The landscape is typical Devon countryside of hedged fields, lanes and stone cottages, offering a quiet, scenic base close to upland moors and market towns.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a number of traditional farmsteads and a parish church, while local life is anchored by community events, the village hall and countryside pursuits such as walking and riding; economically it remains largely agricultural with many residents also commuting to nearby centres for work and services.
