Coly Valley is a largely rural electoral ward in East Devon, Devon, England, lying along the wooded floodplain of the River Coly. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, hedgerows and river meadows, and it sits just inland from the Jurassic Coast, within easy reach of coastal towns such as Seaton and Lyme Regis.
The ward centres on historic villages like Colyton and Colyford, where agriculture, small businesses and tourist trade to the coast and countryside shape the local economy. Colyton in particular has a strong sense of identity - famous locally for its role in the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion - and community life is bolstered by schools, parish activities and a steady stream of visitors exploring the surrounding lanes and riverside walks.
