Map of the UK

The small rural civil parish of Marystow sits in West Devon, in Devon, England, and is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerow fields, small wooded valleys and quiet lanes. It lies close to the village of Bere Alston and the River Tamar, so the landscape feels very much part of the patchwork countryside of the Tamar Valley rather than a single, nucleated settlement.

Historically agricultural, the parish has a modest population and a focal parish church dedicated to St Mary with historic fabric and local memorials; there are also traces of old estate boundaries and lanes now used by walkers. Economic and social life is largely tied to neighbouring villages and market towns such as Tavistock, while the area’s quiet character and rural scenery attract walkers, birdwatchers and those looking for a taste of Devon’s quieter countryside.
