Woodbury sits in East Devon in Devon, England, a few miles south‑east of Exeter and a short distance from the coast and the Exe Estuary. The village is backed by Woodbury Common, an extensive stretch of heathy countryside popular with walkers and mountain bikers and dominated by the Iron Age hill fort known as Woodbury Castle, which gives the area a strong historic and wild character.
Once largely agricultural, Woodbury now combines traditional cottages and later housing and acts partly as a commuter base for nearby towns while keeping a lively local life of shops, pubs, a village hall and community clubs. Its proximity to the coast and the common draws visitors for outdoor recreation, and the parish retains a quiet, village‑centred social scene with regular local events and strong ties to the surrounding East Devon countryside.
