Tale Vale is a rural electoral ward in East Devon, within the county of Devon in England, taking its name from the small, quietly meandering River Tale. The landscape is typical south-west English countryside: rolling farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands with scattered villages and historic farmsteads, giving the area a tranquil, pastoral character and plenty of public footpaths for walking and birdwatching.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural with a mix of small businesses and residents who commute to larger centres; community life is centred on village halls, parish churches, local pubs and seasonal fetes. The ward reflects East Devon’s emphasis on conserving landscape and rural heritage, so there is a strong sense of local identity and active volunteer groups working on conservation and community events, while larger towns and services are within reasonable reach of Exeter.
