Poltimore is a small, quiet village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, lying in the rolling countryside not far from the city of Exeter. The landscape around the village is typically Devon - hedged lanes, pasture and arable fields - and the community has the feel of a rural parish that also functions as a commuter base for the nearby city.
Its most notable feature is Poltimore House, a large historic manor long associated with the Bampfylde family and set within parkland, which has attracted restoration efforts and local interest; the parish church of St Mary also contributes to the village’s historic character. Economically and socially the parish remains small and community-focused, with farming and local initiatives alongside ties to the broader cultural and service life of nearby Exeter.
