Musbury is a small village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, set on rolling countryside a few miles inland from the south coast. It lies near the valley of the River Axe and beneath the wooded ridges of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular for quiet walks and countryside views.
The village has a long history - the nearby Iron Age hill fort known as Musbury Castle hints at ancient settlement - and today retains a largely agricultural character with a small parish community, a church and a village pub. Many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Axminster, while the Jurassic Coast and other coastal attractions are within easy reach.
