Lewtrenchard is a small rural parish in West Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It occupies rolling farmland and wooded valleys along the River Lew, sitting on the western fringes of Dartmoor, with a compact village clustered around a medieval parish church and the historic Lewtrenchard Manor.
Historically shaped by the manor and local landed families, the parish still has a strong agricultural character but now also benefits from tourism and country‑house events; walkers and visitors are drawn to quiet lanes, hedgerows and nearby moorland. Community life is centred on the church and village hall, and the area is prized for its heritage buildings, seasonal farming rhythms and broad Devonian views.
