The B3161 is a short spur in Devon.
It runs the A3052 at Colyford with the centre of the village of Colyton where it ends on an unclassified road in the Market Place.
However, the route as described above is significantly cut back from the original route of this road, the second version of the B3161, which dates back to at least the 1930s when a previously unclassified road was given Class II status. The road continued north of Colyton via Seaton Junction and Shute to end on the A35. This northern section was declassified after the 1970s, possibly in connection with the upgrading of the A35 in this area.
