Broadclyst is a village and civil parish in the East Devon local government district.

According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, in the year 1001, the manor at Broad Clyst was burned down by Danish invaders.

The Clyst Vale Community College secondary school is located in Dog Village.

Oak screens between the hall and parlour are painted with images, dated stylistically 1470–1510; there is a large stair turret, built in the 17th century.

[6][7] Broadclyst has been twinned since 2006 with the French village of Plobannalec-Lesconil, in southern Finistère in Brittany, a link formalised in 2010.
