Dalwood is a village near Axminster in East Devon.
With the hamlet of Stockland, until 1842 it formed an outlier of Dorset inside Devon. St Peter's church is 15th century and was restored in 1881. It has some early stained glass windows. Immediately to the right of the main door (and partly visible in photograph) is the grave of Pedro de Alcantara Travassos Valdez, a son of the Portuguese soldier and Prime Minister José Lucio Travassos Valdez, 1st Count of Bonfim.
Nearby Loughwood Meeting House just north of the A35 road is an interesting 18th century Baptist chapel with an unaltered interior. Some landscaped gardens are opened to the public at nearby Burrow Farm.
The village is within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
