Bolberry is a hamlet on the south coast of Devon, England.

The village is mentioned in Domesday Book in 1066 and 1086, which shows the land was of little value at the time. [1]

Along with Bolberry Down it falls within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. [2]

Bolberry Farmhouse dates from the 16th century, [3] while Bolberry House Farm was built in the mid 19th century. [4]
