Lifton is a village and civil parish in West Devon, Devon, in the far west of England, tucked close to the Cornish border and only a few miles from the market town of Launceston. It sits amid rolling agricultural countryside and features a mix of stone cottages and Victorian buildings clustered around a modest high street, giving it a quietly picturesque, rural character.
Historically the settlement developed as a local farming and market centre, and the local economy still leans heavily on agriculture, small businesses and farm shops, with a steady trickle of visitors exploring the countryside. Community life centres on the parish church, village hall and seasonal events, while the surrounding lanes, rivers and hedgerows make the area popular with walkers and anyone looking to enjoy rural Devon and nearby Cornish attractions.
