Exbourne is a rural electoral ward in West Devon, Devon, England, set amid rolling farmland and hedgerows on the approaches to Dartmoor National Park. The ward centres on the village and its collection of stone cottages, farmsteads and a village church, and lies within easy reach of the small market town of Okehampton, making it popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet country base.
Locally the economy is still strongly agricultural, supplemented by small businesses, holiday lets and a handful of village amenities such as a pub, hall and community groups; traditional fetes and local markets help keep a close-knit social life. Historic field patterns and rural architecture give the area a long-established feel, while contemporary concerns around rural services, transport and broadband are common topics for parish and ward debates.
