West Clyst is a small village in the Clyst Valley of East Devon, Devon, England, lying a few miles east of Exeter. Set among pasture, hedged lanes and close to the River Clyst, it keeps the quiet, rural character typical of small Devon settlements while being within easy commuting distance of the city.
The community features traditional cottages, working farms and a network of footpaths; nearby growth - notably the new town at Cranbrook and improved transport links around Exeter - has brought changing economic and social patterns, with more residents commuting while local agriculture and small enterprises continue to shape village life. Historic traces are more often found in the landscape and lanes than in grand monuments, giving West Clyst an understated, distinctly Devonian charm.
