Ottery St. Mary sits in the heart of East Devon, Devon, in the wooded valley of the River Otter, a short drive from Exeter and the A30. The ward includes the compact market town and surrounding rural parishes, with rolling farmland, cider orchards and a mix of Georgian and medieval streets that give it a village-meets-town character.
There’s a strong local identity: a notable medieval church, literary links to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the famous tar‑barrel bonfire tradition each November. The local economy leans on services, small food and craft producers, tourism and commuters to nearby centres, while independent shops and regular community events keep social life lively and well organised.
