Otterton is a small village and civil parish on the River Otter in East Devon, Devon, England, a few miles from the coastal resorts of Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth. The parish covers a mix of river valley, farmland and a coastal fringe; the nearby Otter Estuary and views towards the Jurassic Coast and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty make it popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Historically the community grew up around milling and agriculture and that heritage is still evident at the restored Otterton Mill, in timber-framed cottages and in the village conservation area. Today the local economy blends farming with tourism, small artisan businesses and hospitality, and a lively community life centred on the parish church, village events and a handful of pubs and shops keeps the place characterful and welcoming.
