Exminster is a riverside village and civil parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, sitting just south‑west of Exeter on the western shore of the River Exe estuary. The nearby Exminster Marshes (an RSPB reserve) and the view across to Powderham Castle make it notable for birdlife, estuarine landscapes and popular walking and cycling routes, with the Haldon Hills rising not far to the west.
Historically centred on its medieval church and a farming community, Exminster expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries and now combines commuter housing for Exeter with local shops, small businesses and sports and community clubs; it once had a railway station and retains a village atmosphere with thatched cottages and a lively parish life, while the marshes and castle draw visitors seasonally.
