Yeo is an electoral ward in Mid Devon, Devon, England, characterised by rolling countryside, hedgerowed lanes and small clusters of villages and hamlets. The ward takes its name from local waterways such as the River Yeo, and the landscape is typical of mid-Devon rurality with pasture, orchards and narrow country roads rather than large urban centres.
Locally the economy leans on agriculture, small-scale food and craft businesses, and a steady stream of commuters who travel to larger towns like Exeter or Tiverton. Historic parish churches, stone cottages and village halls work as focal points for community life, with country pubs, annual fêtes and walking and cycling routes helping to sustain a quiet but active social and cultural scene.
