Yarty is a largely rural ward in East Devon, Devon, England, taking its name from the sinuous River Yarty that threads a wooded valley through rolling farmland. The landscape is typified by small hamlets, isolated farmsteads, ancient hedgerows and narrow lanes rather than a single urban centre, and it feels distinctly pastoral and quiet compared with the busier coast.
Economically the area remains rooted in agriculture with some small-scale tourism and holiday lets, while locally listed churches and historic farm buildings hint at a long settlement history. Social life tends to revolve around parish halls and community events, and many residents travel to nearby market towns such as Axminster and Honiton for services and work, giving the ward a mix of long-standing farming families and newcomers seeking rural living.
