Exbourne is a small rural village and civil parish in West Devon, in the county of Devon, sitting on the northern fringe of Dartmoor and within easy reach of market towns such as Okehampton. It occupies a landscape of rolling farmland, hedged lanes and wooded combes, with several streams and the pastoral scenery that draws walkers and nature-lovers to the area.
Historically agricultural, the village retains the feel of a traditional Devon community with stone cottages, lanes and a long-settled parish centre; farming still shapes much of the local economy, complemented by a modest level of tourism and people who commute to nearby towns. Social life revolves around local clubs, a village hall and seasonal events such as fetes and shows, which help sustain a strong community spirit despite the pressures of rural change.
