Whimple is a small rural village in East Devon, in the county of Devon, England. Set in the shallow valley of the River Clyst and surrounded by orchard-filled hedged lanes, it retains a distinctly agricultural feel while being a short drive from the city of Exeter.
With medieval roots the village still centres on a compact high street and parish church and enjoys an active community life. It is best known locally for its cider orchards and the annual Whimple Wassail, and today its economy blends farming and small businesses with residents who commute to nearby towns, preserving a quintessentially Devon rural character.
