About

The Poppleford, Otterton and Woodbury area is situated within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It encompasses a mix of rural landscapes, from the steep, wooded valleys of the River Otter to the open, elevated heathland of Woodbury Common. This common is a large area of lowland heath, a rare habitat, and is crowned by the distinctive Iron Age hillfort of Woodbury Castle. The villages themselves are characterised by traditional thatched cottages and buildings constructed from local flint and sandstone.

Poppleford and Otterton lie in the Otter Valley, with Otterton being a linear village centred around a historic mill on the river. The area is primarily agricultural, with a network of public footpaths and bridleways crossing the farmland and connecting the settlements. The geology here is notable, with the red Triassic sandstone particularly evident in the cliffs at Ladram Bay, creating a striking coastal feature just to the south.
