Holcombe Burnell is a small rural parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, lying a few miles west of Exeter on the slopes above the Exe valley. The setting is classic Devon countryside - rolling farmland, hedgerows and orchards - and while agriculture remains visible, many residents commute into Exeter so the parish combines working farmland with a commuter and retired population.
The settlement retains a strong sense of history and local identity: a medieval village church and surviving earthworks and manor traces hint at a long past, and the quiet lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers. Social life is small-scale and community-focused, with local events and village ties keeping a distinctly rural character close to the amenities of the nearby city.
