The village and civil parish of Lifton sits in West Devon, close to the border with Cornwall. It occupies a pleasant spot in rolling agricultural countryside, with a compact centre of historic stone cottages, a parish church and surrounding estate parkland that hint at its long rural past.
Traditionally a farming and market community, Lifton now combines agriculture with small local businesses and a modest tourism draw from walkers and visitors exploring lanes and woodlands. Community life is centred on the village hall, pub and seasonal events, while larger centres such as Launceston and Tavistock are within easy reach for services and markets.
