You are probably aware of this, but the Round Britain Cycle Race will be passing through the village on the 14th September. The cyclists are expected through the village at 1.33pm. The police have been advised that spectators are encouraged, BUT the organisers have asked that no cars park on the roadside along Broadway and past the Post Office. |

Woodbury Parish, which incorporates the villages of
Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton and Exton, is currently one of the largest
parishes in Devon. It encompasses much of Woodbury Common - an area of
outstanding natural beauty-and enjoys a thriving community spirit rooted
in the church and chapel, in the school and in agriculture. In days of
old the parish was frequented by Sir Francis Drake, and a chapel
dedicated to the memory of the Drake family is situated in St Swithun’s
Church. “Woodbury, A
