About

Tale Vale ward encompasses a collection of villages and hamlets in the rural interior of East Devon, centred around the settlements of Talaton and Payhembury. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, quiet country lanes, and wooded stream valleys. Agriculture remains a central part of the local economy and identity, shaping the open fields and pastoral scenery that define the area.

The ward's community life often focuses on village halls, local pubs, and historic parish churches. A notable feature is the presence of the former Great Western Railway line, now the picturesque Clyst Valley Cycle Route, which provides a recreational path through the countryside. This area offers a quiet, predominantly residential setting removed from the busier coastal parts of the district.
