Exwick is a residential suburb of Exeter in Devon, England, sitting a short distance northwest of the city centre on the west bank of the River Exe. It grew from a riverside village with water‑powered mills into a mixed area of Victorian terraces, post‑war council housing and more recent developments, so the streets show a blend of old and new.
The area retains a strong local identity with a small high street, community groups, primary schools and riverside walks that link into countryside and cycle routes; some former industrial buildings along the river have been repurposed for homes or small businesses. Its proximity to central Exeter and green spaces makes it popular with commuters and families, while local initiatives and clubs reflect a diverse, settled community.
