The Otter Valley Association was formed in 1979 as an amenity (Civic) society to interest residents and visitors in the history, geography, natural history and architecture of the area. It also encourages high standards of planning and architecture.

It is registered with the Civic Trust and Charity Commissioners, and its "area of benefit" is the countryside of Budleigh Salterton, East Budleigh with Bicton, Colaton Raleigh, Newton Poppleford and Harpford.

The Association maintains contact with the County, District and Parish Councils, as well as neighbouring associations with similar aims. It also works closely with the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership.

The Otter Valley Association East Devon The talks programme covers a wide range of interests concerning the countryside such as archaeology, architecture, wildlife and flowers, farming and forestry, as well as down to earth problems such as water supply and quality.

Walks are arranged each month and introduce members to the beauty of our countryside available to them through the many excellent footpaths. Members also receive four newsletters a year.

Membership is currently exceeds 1,000, more than 10% of the valley's adult population.

You are particularly welcome to join the Association if you take a positive role in achieving its objectives, but we are also very glad to have members who can show their support only by subscription or donation.
