A 25-year masterplan that will help the future delivery of a new regional valley park that will cover land ‘half the size of Exeter’ and guide planning decisions within its boundary has been agreed.
The Clyst Valley Regional Park is set to consist of a number of greenspaces linked by greenways and will extend from Clyst St George to the south to Killerton House to the north, and to the Cranbrook Country Park to the east.
A masterplan, which was consulted on in 2020, has been produced to set out a long-term, broad guide to how the Regional Park could develop and to set out the big picture and the general direction of travel and opportunity.

Last week I wrote about the nature reserves that come within the Wild East Devon envelope, and joked that I’d better list them all at the risk of being berated for leaving one out. There followed a list, always a risk in any writing. Of course,
I then left one out, the very one I go to more than any other, the Seaton Wetlands which runs from the marshes west of the Axe estuary to Colyford Common. Thank you to the many good-humoured local emailers who set me straight.
