About Cranbrook http://www.cranbrook-devon.com/ “Over a decade ago the ambitious vision for what we now know as Cranbrook took shape. Today that vision has overcome many challenges to become stunning reality. This first free standing new settlement built in Devon since the Middle Ages is now the South West's largest project of its kind. Cranbrook is modern, forward looking and dynamic, utilising leading edge technologies for communication, connectivity and energy, for homes and businesses alike. In addition, this innovative development clearly demonstrates how public and private partnership at its best works for the benefit of us all. The Cranbrook that's unfolding is not just an attractive and vibrant Devon town, but one with its roots firmly sunk into the history and architectural heritage of this wonderful county. It is also eco-friendly and low carbon to help minimise our use of energy and impact on the earth.” http://www.cranbrook-devon.com/ For more information about Exeter: http://www.visitexeter.com/whats-on http://www.exeterviews.co.uk/ Thinking about moving to Devon?: http://www.devonhomefinder.net/ https://new.devon.gov.uk/educationandfamilies/school-information
