Jacobstowe is a small, rural parish and village in West Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It sits close to the northern fringes of Dartmoor and within easy reach of the market town of Okehampton, with the A30 providing the main road link; the surrounding landscape is typical rolling Devon farmland stitched with hedgerows and narrow lanes.
Historically the community has been agricultural, centred on a compact village core with a parish church and traditional stone cottages, and today residents combine farming with commuting to nearby towns. The parish appeals to walkers and people seeking a quiet countryside lifestyle while remaining accessible to local services and the national park fringe.
