Yealmpton is a village and civil parish in Devon, situated in the South Hams district on the A379 road that links Plymouth to Kingsbridge. The settlement lies within the county of Devon and is part of the South Hams area. Historically, Yealmpton was served by the Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch, a single‑track Great Western Railway line that opened in 1898. The line ran from Plymstock to Yealmpton, with passenger services operating from Plymouth Millbay. Competition from road transport led to a decline in usage, and the passenger service was withdrawn in 1930. Today, Yealmpton remains a rural community with a distinct village character, surrounded by the natural landscape of Devon. The area retains its historical connection to the railway and the A379 corridor, offering a mix of countryside appeal and access to nearby towns.
