Farway is a small, tucked‑away village in East Devon, Devon, set in rolling farmland and hedged lanes a short drive from the market towns of Axminster and Colyton and within easy reach of the East Devon coast and the Jurassic Coast. Its quiet lanes, orchards and pasture give it a distinctly rural character and make it a pleasant base for walkers and people seeking the Devon countryside.
The community is small and close‑knit, with a historic parish church and a handful of listed houses that hint at a long local story; economically it remains largely agricultural, supplemented by small‑scale tourism and residents who commute to nearby towns. Village life tends to revolve around seasonal events and the countryside calendar, and the area is often valued for its tranquillity and traditional rural grain rather than any large commercial centre.
