About

Broadclyst ward encompasses a largely rural landscape north of Exeter, characterised by farmland, wooded valleys, and scattered villages like Broadclyst itself and Westwood. The area includes parts of the Killerton estate, with its historic house and parkland managed by the National Trust, contributing to the open, green character. Several small streams feed into the River Clyst, which runs through the parish.

The ward's settlement pattern is defined by traditional villages, with a notable concentration of thatched roof cottages in areas like Broadclyst village centre. The presence of Clyst Vale Community College and a major regional hospital on its eastern edge are significant local institutions. Transport routes, including the M5 motorway and main railway line, trace its western boundary, connecting it to Exeter and beyond while marking a distinct perimeter.
