Clare & Shuttern is a largely rural ward in Mid Devon, Devon, England, characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows and a scattering of small villages and hamlets. The landscape is typical of mid-Devon countryside, with historic farmsteads and parish churches punctuating quiet lanes, and a local economy rooted in agriculture, small-scale enterprises and some commuter links to nearby towns.
Community life tends to revolve around village halls, parish activities and seasonal events such as fetes and markets, while footpaths and bridleways make the area popular with walkers and cyclists. Like many rural wards it faces issues such as limited public transport and pressures on local services, but retains a strong sense of place and local involvement.
