Clyst St. Mary is a small village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, located just a few miles east of Exeter. It lies beside the River Clyst and the low-lying marshes that feed into the Exe estuary, so the surrounding landscape is a mix of fertile farmland, wetland bird habitat and a network of footpaths popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The village has a medieval parish church dedicated to St Mary and is associated with events of the 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion, giving it a notable place in Devon’s Tudor history. Today Clyst St. Mary combines a quiet rural character with modern realities - small businesses and light industrial units near the M5 corridor, a commuter population working in nearby Exeter, and community life centred on the village hall, school and local clubs.
