The village and civil parish of Clyst St. Mary lies in East Devon, Devon, England, a few miles east of Exeter on the low-lying floodplain of the River Clyst. Its hedged lanes, farmland and pockets of wetland give it a distinctly rural feel, yet good road links mean many residents commute into the city.
Locally there is a traditional parish church, a village hall and a small primary school, and the community mixes long-established farming families with newer commuter households. The area also carries echoes of wider regional history, notably 16th-century unrest around nearby Clyst Heath, while today the parish balances quiet village life with modest development pressures from the expanding Exeter hinterland.
