Clyst Honiton is a village on the old A30 near Exeter Airport. Originally a farming community with a stage coach inn, blacksmith's and baker's, it is now home to 300 residents with Cranbrook up the road.
The rest of the parish, south of the A30, is mainly agricultural land down to the A3052 coast road. Much of this is likely to become another new town. The parish has seen a lot of change and the Parish Council are making sure that residents' views are part of the process.
