Broadclyst is a largely rural ward in East Devon, Devon, sitting just north‑east of Exeter. The area mixes rolling farmland and hedgerowed lanes with a handful of historic villages clustered around the valley of the River Clyst, and its proximity to the M5 and Exeter Airport has made it part of the city’s commuter hinterland while retaining a distinctly countryside feel.
Locally there are traditional stone and thatched buildings, a medieval church and village amenities that support a close-knit community; economically the ward combines agriculture and small local businesses with residents who work in Exeter and beyond. The landscape and historic character attract walkers and people seeking rural housing within easy reach of urban services.
