Sparkwell is a small village and civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon. Historically it was part of Haytor Hundred.[1]
Its local Anglican church is All Saints Church, Sparkwell.[2] Its local non-conformist church is Lee Mill Congregational Church, which is affiliated to the EFCC.[3]
It is home to an erstwhile one-Michelin-star pub and restaurant, the Treby Arms, previously run by MasterChef: The Professionals winner Anton Piotrowski.[4]
Dartmoor Zoological Park is located on the outskirts of the village.[5] The true story of Benjamin Mee's acquisition of the zoo inspired his book We Bought a Zoo, which was later adapted into a film starring Matt Damon.
The Hemerdon Mine is located in the parish.
