Combpyne Rousdon is a small, rural civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, set among steep combes, ancient woodland and rolling farmland close to the Dorset coast. It embraces the tiny settlements of Combpyne and Rousdon and sits within easy reach of the Georgian seaside town of Lyme Regis and the wooded Axe Valley, so walking, coastal sightseeing and nature are important attractions for visitors.
Historically agricultural, the parish also has Victorian interest in the form of the grand Rousdon House, and a modest transport heritage - the Lyme Regis branch railway with a station at Combpyne closed in the mid-1960s. Community life remains small-scale and village-oriented, with local farms, holiday lets and a quiet rural character that many residents and visitors value.
