Nether Exe is a small, rural civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, tucked into the gentle, rolling countryside of the Exe valley. The landscape is a patchwork of pastures, hedgerows and small woods, with the course of the River Exe and its tributaries helping to shape lanes and scattered farmsteads; it’s a quiet spot popular with walkers and anyone after a rural retreat.
Historically the parish grew from medieval agriculture and still retains a largely farming character, with several historic farmhouses and traditional buildings. The community is small and close‑knit, relying on nearby market towns and Exeter for shops and services, while local life often centres on seasonal events, small‑scale rural enterprises and outdoor leisure activities.
