Thrushelton is a small rural village in West Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling pasture and hedged lanes beside the valley of the River Thrushel. The settlement is characterised by stone cottages, farmsteads and quiet country roads, and lies within easy reach of moorland fringes so it appeals to walkers and those after a peaceful Devon landscape.

Historically agricultural, the local economy still centres on mixed farming, although a number of residents commute to nearby towns for work; the village retains a small historic church and a handful of older buildings that hint at its long rural past. Community life tends to be close‑knit, with village events and seasonal traditions marking the social calendar while services are found in larger centres a short drive away.
