About

West Hill & Aylesbeare is a primarily rural ward in East Devon, characterised by a landscape of rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and scattered villages. The area is centred around the settlements of West Hill, a residential village on a high ridge, and Aylesbeare, a smaller parish with a historic church. The ward encompasses a significant portion of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its network of quiet lanes and public footpaths.

The local economy is largely based on agriculture and forestry, with many residents commuting to nearby towns like Ottery St Mary and Exeter.

This landscape defines much of the area's open, undeveloped character.
