Galmpton is a semi-rural village in Torbay, in the ceremonial county of Devon, England. It is located in the ward of Churston-with-Galmpton and the historic civil parish of Churston Ferrers, though some areas historically considered parts of Galmpton, such as Greenway and Galmpton Creek, are situated in the Devon borough of South Hams.
Galmpton is bordered to the south and west by a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the Kingswear parish. Galmpton Warborough common is immediately to the north, and beyond that the town of Paignton. To the north-east are the areas of Broadsands and Elberry Cove on the coast of the English Channel; and to the west and south-west the village of Churston Ferrers and the fishing town of Brixham.
Churston-with-Galmpton has a resident population of about 6,657, which is set to increase by 3.5% by 2023.[1] Galmpton village itself is home to just over 1,400 people.[2] It has an older population: the average age in the village is 52, twelve years above the UK average.[3] Life expectancy, and the age at which residents remain free of disabilities, are significantly higher than elsewhere, though the proportion of people with long-term medical conditions is high.[4] The ward constitutes the least deprived area of Torbay with an unemployment rate of 1.2%.[3]
