Dartington is a village in Devon, England. Its population is 876. The electoral ward of Dartington includes the surrounding area and had a population of 1,753 at the 2011 census. It is located to the west of the River Dart, south of Dartington Hall and approximately two miles (3 km) north-west of Totnes. Dartington is home to an obsolete cider press (now the centrepiece of a shopping centre named after it), the Cott Inn, a public house dating from 1320, and Dartington Hall.
In 1952, Dartington provided the venue for a major conference in the British studio pottery movement, organized by Muriel Rose, a leading arbiter of British crafts and design. The Dartington Conference drew major ceramic artists of the twentieth century including Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew, and, from Japan, Shoji Hamada and Soetsu Yanagi, whose participation signaled the restoration of post-World War II British-Japanese relations.
