Harford is a hamlet some two miles north of the tiny town of Ivybridge in southern Devon. It is on Dartmoor, on the southern slopes of the moor, which are rich here in the remains of ancient times, with hut circles, cairns and a stone row. The village is on the River Erme, which runs down from here to Ivybridge.

Though with a population of just 77 people, Harford also forms a civil parish.
