Broad Clyst is a small village and civil parish in East Devon, about five miles east of Exeter, sitting in the gently rolling landscape of the Clyst Valley. The area is dominated by farmland and hedgerows with the small River Clyst running nearby, offering a mix of rural character and easy access to the city, which has made it popular with commuters while still retaining a distinctly village feel.
Locally the community revolves around a medieval parish church, traditional pubs and active village groups, and there are a number of historic houses and farmsteads scattered through the parish. Walking routes and quiet lanes attract ramblers and cyclists, and conservation-minded residents work to balance development pressures with protecting the parish’s historic and natural character.
