Upton Hellions is a village in the midst of Devon, on its own at the end of a dead-end lane above the valley of the River Creedy, which runs just a few hundred yards to the west, heading south to Crediton, two miles south of Upton Hellions. Across the valley to the south-west is Sandford. A mile and a half to the north but joined only by footpaths is a similar hamlet, East Village.

Though small and apart, the village has a parish church, St Mary the Virgin; one of three churches in the ecclesiastical parish of Sandford with Upton Hellions, created in 1928.
