About

Coly Valley ward encompasses a rural expanse centred around the River Coly, featuring the villages of Colyton and Colyford alongside smaller hamlets and farmland. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, water meadows, and wooded valleys typical of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area's economy has historically been linked to agriculture, with local services focused in its main settlements.

A notable feature is the heritage Colyton Grammar School, founded in the 16th century. The ward contains sections of the East Devon Way footpath, connecting the countryside to the coast. The River Coly itself supports local wildlife and contributes to the area's quiet, pastoral character, with little large-scale development beyond the existing village cores.
