The village and civil parish of Meavy sits on the southern edge of Dartmoor in West Devon, Devon, England, clustered beside the wooded valley of the River Meavy and overlooking Burrator Reservoir. Its granite-built church and compact village green hint at medieval origins, while moorland and reservoir trails make it a popular base for walkers, cyclists and wildlife watchers drawn to the high tors and broad views.
Historically the area is linked with nearby Buckland Abbey and the estates of the local gentry, and agricultural smallholdings and forestry still shape the local economy alongside tourism and the water management role of the reservoir that supplies Plymouth. Meavy retains a strong village community with a village hall, church activities and a handful of local businesses catering to residents and visitors alike.
