West Devon, Administrative district in Devon, England.
West Devon spans across numerous rural communities between Dartmoor National Park and the Cornish border, encompassing towns like Tavistock, Okehampton, and Hatherleigh.
The district formed in 1974 by merging Okehampton Municipal Borough, Okehampton Rural District, and Tavistock Rural District, receiving borough status in 1982.
