Clyst Honiton
Clyst Honiton (or Honiton Clyst) is an English village and civil parish five miles from Exeter in the East Devon district, in the county of Devon. It has a primary school.[1] The church is St Michael and All Angels.[2][3] Exeter International Airport which opened in 1938 is located on the outskirts of the village.[4] The village was originally on the main A30 road from Exeter to Honiton but was bypassed in the 1990s.[5] Another bypass to the east of the village linking the A30 to the new developments around Cranbrook opened in October 2013.[6]
The parish is surrounded clockwise from the north by the parishes of Broad Clyst, Rockbeare, Aylesbeare, Farringdon and Sowton.[7] In 2001 its population was 295.[8]
The village is mentioned in the Robyn Hitchcock song "Goodnight I Say".
