Brampford Speke is a small village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, quietly tucked into the valley of the River Exe a few miles north of Exeter. Its narrow lanes, stone cottages and riverside meadows give it a distinctly rural feel while making it convenient as a commuter or weekend base for the city.
The village name reflects local history - the "Brampford" element is thought to mean a broom or bramble ford and "Speke" comes from the medieval Speke family who once held the manor. Cultural life centres on a small parish church and community activities in the village hall, and the area is popular with walkers and anglers thanks to riverside routes such as the Exe Valley Way and the rich wildlife of the floodplain; agriculture and small-scale rural enterprises still shape the local economy.
