Bishops Tawton is a picturesque village nestled on the outskirts of Barnstaple in North Devon. Set within rolling countryside and just south of the River Taw, the village offers a peaceful, rural charm while still being conveniently close to the bustling market town of Barnstaple.

The village is steeped in history, with the Church of St John the Baptist—a prominent feature—dating back to the 14th century and thought to have been the seat of the Bishop of Devon in Saxon times. Traditional stone cottages and thatched-roof homes line the narrow lanes, and the surrounding landscape boasts lush fields, wooded valleys, and scenic walking routes, including access to parts of the Tarka Trail.

Bishops Tawton is a desirable location for those seeking a blend of countryside tranquility and easy access to amenities. With its strong sense of community, historical roots, and proximity to the North Devon coast, Exmoor National Park, and the A361 link road, it offers a quintessential Devon village lifestyle with excellent connectivity.
