West Anstey is a small rural parish on the southern fringe of Exmoor in North Devon, Devon, England. The countryside is a mixture of rolling pasture, hedgerows and pockets of heath and mire, with West Anstey Common a locally important wildlife area and designated SSSI that draws walkers and birdwatchers for its varied plants and birdlife.
Historically agricultural, the parish is characterised by scattered farmsteads, vernacular stone and cob buildings and a quiet, community-focused way of life; farming remains the mainstay while small-scale tourism – holiday cottages, walking and nature visits – supplements the local economy and links the village to nearby market towns and neighbouring parishes such as East Anstey.
