Exe Valley in East Devon, Devon, England is a largely rural ward centred on the scenic corridor of the River Exe. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, wooded riverbanks and small stone-built villages, with a strong sense of local history visible in medieval churches, old mills and stone bridges that sit alongside fields and hedgerows.
Locally the economy is dominated by agriculture and small-scale tourism - walkers, anglers and wildlife enthusiasts are drawn by good walking routes, birdlife and the river’s migratory fish - and the communities remain tightly knit with village halls and seasonal events. Governance sits with the local district council, and the ward’s low population density and countryside character give it a quieter, more traditional Devon feel compared with the region’s larger towns.
