Pinhoe is a suburb and electoral ward on the north‑eastern edge of Exeter in Devon, England, retaining a recognisable village core with a medieval parish church and some older stone buildings amid later housing developments. Its history is visible in the compact village streets and community institutions, which sit alongside newer estates that expanded the area in the twentieth and twenty‑first centuries.
The ward serves largely as a commuter pocket for the city, with a local railway station linking it into Exeter and beyond and easy access to major road routes such as the M5 and nearby Exeter Airport. Local life centres on modest high‑street amenities, schools and community groups, and the proximity to open countryside gives residents a balance of suburban convenience and rural access.
