Monkokehampton is a small, rural parish in West Devon, in the county of Devon, characterised by rolling farmland, hedged lanes and a scattering of stone cottages and farmsteads. Its quiet lanes and intact rural landscape give it a distinctly Devonian feel, and it lies within easy reach of the upland scenery of Dartmoor National Park, which helps bring a modest flow of visitors and walkers to the area.

The settlement has a long history reflected in traditional buildings and place‑names that hint at medieval connections; today the local economy remains largely agricultural with some diversification into tourism and commuting to nearby towns. Community life tends to be centred on the parish church and village events, giving Monkokehampton a close‑knit, conservation‑minded character typical of many small West Devon parishes.
