Allercombe is a small rural hamlet in East Devon, Devon, England, tucked into the rolling pastoral landscape that characterises this part of the county. Narrow lanes, hedgerows and a handful of traditional stone and cob cottages mark its footprint; historically it developed as an agricultural settlement and you can still see vestiges of old farmsteads and field patterns in the locality.
Today the local economy remains primarily agricultural, with many residents commuting to larger towns for work, while the wider area draws visitors for its attractive countryside. Allercombe sits within easy reach of the Blackdown Hills and the Jurassic Coast, and socially it tends to share amenities and community life with neighbouring villages, keeping a quiet, close‑knit rural character and local traditions such as village shows and cider‑related activities.
