Bicton is a small rural parish in East Devon, Devon, in the south‑west of England, lying close to the estuary of the River Otter and a short drive from the seaside towns of Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton. The area combines farmland, sheltered river valley and parkland, giving a distinctly rural character while remaining accessible to the coast and larger towns.
Much of local life and the visitor draw revolve around the historic estate centred on Bicton House and the well‑known Bicton Park Botanical Gardens, whose formal gardens, glasshouses and specimen trees reflect 19th‑century landscaping and support a modest tourism economy; the estate also stages equestrian events and country shows. There is a land‑based educational presence at Bicton College, and socially the community is shaped by agriculture, the estate and ties with nearby coastal settlements.
