Coffinswell

Coffinswell is a small village in South Devon, England, just off the A380, the busy Newton Abbot to Torquay road.

[1] The village lies in a rural valley surrounded by farmland, and has many traditional Devon cob and thatch cottages.

Lanes and tracks lead to the neighbouring hamlet of Daccombe and over the ridge towards Haccombe and the River Teign approximately 3 miles north over undulating land.

Traditional Devon hedgerows form field boundaries, and have existed at least since Norman times.

[5] During his time Michael Constantine de Courcy, 33rd Baron Kingsale (1855–1931) lived in Coffinswell.
