East Devon has the lush river valley of the Exe and the charm of the Blackdown Hills to boast about, plus some of the agricultural land in Devon.
The churches range from large behemoths from wealthy parishes to, further East, smaller ones built from flint as the geography of Dorset starts to take over.
