About our village

Starcross lies between Exeter and Dawlish on the A379 and is surrounded by arable land on three sides and the river Exe on the fourth. The arable land is primarily owned by the Earl of Devon.

Over the last 25 years, the village has grown threefold, its current inhabitants numbering approximately 1700.

Today, Starcross is very much a commuter village to Exeter comprising a church, primary school, general store, post office, surgery, pharmacy, fish and chip shop and three public houses. There are many opportunities for sport and leisure activities, including bowls, football, cricket, fishing, sailing and walking as well as many clubs & societies catering for a wide range of interests.

These are usually held in the Church Rooms at the Parish Church, commencing at 7:30pm. Normally the council meets on every second Monday evening of the month (except when this would fall on a bank holiday or during August).
