The civil parish centred on Newton Poppleford and including the small settlement of Harpford lies in East Devon, Devon, tucked into the valley of the River Otter and a short distance from the coastal town of Sidmouth and the Jurassic Coast. Its landscape of rolling farmland, river meadows and hedgerows gives way to wildlife-rich estuarine habitats, making it appealing for walkers and nature‑watchers as well as locals who value the quieter, semi-rural life.
Historically the villages grew around agriculture and river crossings, and today the local economy mixes farming with tourism and commuter living for nearby Exeter and coastal towns. Community life is notable for its village organisations, active primary school and local events that sustain a strong social fabric, while conservation areas and historic buildings hint at a long local heritage without feeling like a major tourist centre.
