About
Situation Newton Poppleford is a charming East Devon village set within the beautiful East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfectly positioned between the cathedral city of Exeter and the elegant coastal town of Sidmouth, part of the spectacular Jurassic Coast.
Sidmouth’s renowned beaches and coastal walks lie just four miles away, while Exeter is approximately twenty minutes by car, offering excellent shopping, dining and transport connections.
The village itself enjoys a strong sense of community and provides a range of everyday amenities including a well-regarded primary school, parish church, village pub, tea rooms, garages and post office, along with a regular bus route connecting to surrounding towns.
Newton Poppleford is particularly loved for its access to the surrounding countryside.
The village benefits from excellent sports pitches and open recreational spaces, while picturesque walks follow the banks of the beautiful River Otter, leading through unspoilt countryside towards the coast.
For families, excellent secondary schooling options are also within easy reach, including Colyton Grammar School and The King's School, Ottery St Mary.
