Cranbrook is a relatively new, planned town in East Devon, within the county of Devon in England, built in the 21st century on former farmland to help meet housing needs around nearby Exeter. It sits amid open Devon countryside, with easy road and rail links into Exeter and beyond, and benefits from being close to both rural landscapes and the Devon coast, making it popular with commuters and families.
The town has been developed with schools, shops and community facilities at its heart and hosts an active local life of clubs and events; economically it is a mixed commuter and local-service community, and socially it's notable for the rapid growth and debates that have accompanied building a new town from scratch - residents often praise the strong community spirit while also pressing for continued investment in infrastructure and amenities.
