Upottery is a small, rural parish in East Devon, Devon, in the rolling, hedged landscape of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village cluster of stone and thatch cottages, a parish church and a village hall sit amid mixed farmland and lanes, giving the place a quietly picturesque, agricultural character while being within easy driving distance of larger towns such as Honiton and Taunton.
Though modest in size, the parish has an interesting history: a wartime airfield built nearby in the Second World War was used by Allied forces and has left a visible imprint on the countryside. Today the local economy leans on farming and small-scale tourism, with a close-knit community that supports village events, conservation efforts and a slow-paced rural way of life typical of much of England's West Country countryside.
