About us

The OVA is a civic society founded in 1979 to interest residents and visitors in the history, geography, natural history and architecture of this area of Devon.

The OVA's area of benefit is the valley of the River Otter in East Devon and its environs southwards from the town of Ottery St Mary to the sea at Budleigh Salterton.

We organise talks, guided walks and other events, publish a quarterly newsletter and work with local councils and other environmental organisations. Also we encourage high standards of planning and architecture.
