Chivelstone is a small village located in the South Hams district of Devon, England. Situated on the southern coast of the county, it lies approximately 7 miles east of Kingsbridge and 15 miles south of Dartmouth. The village is nestled within the stunning countryside of the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasting picturesque landscapes and tranquil surroundings.

Chivelstone is characterized by its charming traditional stone cottages and historic buildings, which give the village a timeless and quaint atmosphere. The local community is tight-knit and friendly, with a population of around 200 residents. The village is proud of its heritage and has managed to preserve many of its architectural gems, such as St. Sylvester's Church, a Grade II listed building dating back to the 13th century.

The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills, fields, and woodlands offering a range of outdoor activities and scenic walks. The nearby South West Coast Path provides stunning coastal views and is a popular route for walkers and hikers.

Despite its small size, Chivelstone is not far from amenities and attractions. The nearby town of Kingsbridge offers a range of shops, restaurants, and services, while the historic port town of Dartmouth is within easy reach for a day out exploring its maritime history and enjoying the scenic River Dart.
