Cranbrook is a rapidly grown new town in East Devon, about nine miles east of Exeter in Devon, England. Laid out in the early 21st century on former farmland, it has expanded quickly with new housing, primary schools and a developing town centre, drawing many commuters while also supporting local shops, services and small businesses.
Set in the valley of the River Clyst, the settlement keeps a lot of green corridors, cycleways and parks, and prides itself on an active community life with sports clubs, events and modern community facilities that give it a village-like social feel despite its modern origins; it is well connected by road and public transport to Exeter and the surrounding area.
