Colaton Raleigh is a small rural village and parish in East Devon, in the county of Devon, tucked into the valley of the River Otter a short drive inland from the south Devon coast. It sits between the larger settlements of Ottery St Mary and Sidmouth, within easy reach of the rolling countryside of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast.
The village retains a quiet, historic character with a medieval parish church and a mix of stone and thatched cottages; agriculture has long been important to the local economy, now complemented by small-scale tourism and commuters working in nearby towns. Community life is modest but active, with village events, riverside walks and good birdwatching and walking opportunities on the surrounding lanes and coastal paths.
