Exton is a small rural parish in Somerset, sitting on the northern fringes of Exmoor National Park close to the Devon border and the market town of Dulverton. The area is characterised by mixed farmland, hedgerows and traditional stone cottages, with lanes and open views that give a strong sense of the surrounding moorland and valley landscape.
Historically agriculture has shaped the parish - sheep and cattle farming left their mark on both land use and vernacular buildings - while today tourism for walkers, birdwatchers and riders supplements the local economy. Social life is modest and community‑centred, with a parish church and nearby village facilities providing the focal points for events and daily life, and the place is prized for its tranquillity and access to outdoor recreation.
