About

The Dunkeswell, Upottery and Stockland area encompasses a rural part of East Devon characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys and scattered villages. The landscape is defined by the upper reaches of the River Otter and its tributaries, which cut through the clay and sandstone hills. Dunkeswell is known for its former Second World War airfield, a significant flat expanse now largely used for business and light industry, which contrasts with the surrounding countryside. The area's settlements are typically compact, with historic churches and traditional Devon cottages built from local stone and cob.

Parishes are connected by narrow, winding lanes that follow the contours of the land, offering views across fields and towards the distant Blackdown Hills. Upottery retains a linear village structure along its main street, while Stockland sits on a ridge above the River Yarty. A notable local feature is the presence of several traditional water-powered mills along the watercourses, some still in operation. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet, working farmland interspersed with pockets of woodland and heath.
