The local economy remains largely rural and community‑focused, with farming, small businesses and many residents commuting to nearby towns; social life centres on village clubs, the parish events and the conservation‑minded feel of the place. Visitors often appreciate the peaceful lanes, nearby walking country and the sense of an enduring Devon market‑town community.
