East Anstey is a small, quiet parish in North Devon, Devon, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside where the wooded valleys of the River Mole meet the fringes of Exmoor. The village feels traditionally Devonian, with stone cottages, a parish church and a village hall that hint at a long rural history shaped by farming and small-scale mills rather than by heavy industry.
Today agriculture remains important, supplemented by a modest amount of rural tourism and walking, and a close-knit social life centred on local events; many residents also commute to nearby market towns such as Tiverton and Barnstaple for work and services. The combination of quiet lanes, hedged fields and easy access to Exmoor makes it appealing to those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle.
