Rockbeare is a small rural village and civil parish in East Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It sits just a few miles east of Exeter, with Exeter Airport and the expanding new town of Cranbrook close by, giving the parish a mix of traditional countryside and convenient commuter links to the city.
The settlement retains a historic core centred on its parish church and a scattering of classic Devon stone buildings and a manor house, set amid farmland. Agriculture has long shaped the local economy, but many residents now commute to Exeter or work in businesses around the airport and nearby developments; community life remains focused on the village hall, local events and voluntary groups, even as recent growth has altered the surrounding landscape.
