Aylesbeare is a small, rural parish in East Devon, Devon, England, lying roughly ten miles east of Exeter. It sits beside the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths, and Aylesbeare Common is a notable area of lowland heath and sandy soils designated for conservation, valued for heathland birds such as nightjar and Dartford warbler and popular for walking, riding and wildlife watching.
The local economy is largely agricultural with mixed farms and a number of residents who commute to nearby towns, while the village retains historic character and a close-knit community life centred on village amenities and events; the name even appears in geology as the local Aylesbeare Mudstone Group, reflecting its landscape significance.
