Musbury is a small rural village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, sitting a couple of miles north‑west of Axminster beside the wooded valley of the River Coly. It occupies rolling countryside on the edge of the coastal hills and is close to the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so the landscape of orchards, hedgerows and lanes is a defining feature.
The parish has a long history, with the Iron Age hillfort known as Musbury Castle overlooking the valley, and the village still shows traditional stone and thatched cottages amid working farmland. Local life centres on community amenities and small‑scale agriculture and tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby towns while village events and pubs help keep a strong community feel.
