Stoke Canon is a small rural village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, in south‑west England, set on the floodplain of the River Exe near the line of the old Exeter Canal. Low‑lying meadows and reedbeds make the area important for wildlife and flood management, while the surrounding farmland supports mixed agriculture; its proximity to Exeter and the M5 means many residents combine village life with commuting to the city.
The settlement has medieval origins and a compact historic core with several listed buildings and a parish church, and community life revolves around a village hall and local groups. Historically the waterways shaped the economy, and today walking, birdwatching and the quieter aspects of the countryside are among the parish's principal attractions.
