The village and civil parish of Meeth sits in West Devon, Devon, England. It is a small rural community surrounded by farmland and the scars of former ball‑clay workings; extraction of ball clay dominated the local economy through the 19th and 20th centuries and supplied the wider ceramics trade, leaving a notable industrial heritage of quarries and trackbeds.
Many of the disused workings have been allowed to naturalise or managed as wildlife reserves, creating mosaics of heathland, ponds and reedbeds that attract walkers and wildlife enthusiasts and support a surprising diversity of plants and insects. The parish keeps a quiet, close‑knit character, with historic buildings and countryside recreation forming the core of local life.
