Clannaborough is a parish in the middle of Devon, between Bow to the west and Copplestone to the east, about five and a half miles north-west of Crediton and eleven miles north-east of Okehampton.

No village exists here, only scattered farmhouses, including Clannaborough Barton and the bartons of Appledore and Walson, all three estates listed in the Domesday Book of 1066.[1]

The parish church is dedicated to St Petrock.[2]
