Sticklepath is a small rural parish and village on the northern fringe of Dartmoor, in West Devon, Devon, England, a short distance from Okehampton. It occupies the meeting point of rolling farmland and moorland and is associated with the Sticklepath Fault, a notable local geological feature that has drawn interest from geologists and helped shape the surrounding landscape.
The community is largely agricultural in character, with some local quarrying and a modest amount of tourism from walkers and riders using routes into the moor; many residents commute to nearby towns. Historically the area shares in the moor’s mining and rural traditions, and parish life today centres on village amenities, seasonal events and a strong local identity.
