Heavitree is a historic village and former civil parish situated formerly outside the walls of the City of Exeter in Devon, England, and is today an eastern district of that city. It was formerly the first significant village outside the city on the road to London. The birthplace of the librarian Thomas Bodley and the theologian Richard Hooker, it carries a rich cultural heritage. From the 16th century to 1818 it was a site for executions within what is now the car park of the St Luke's Campus of the University of Exeter. The area retains its village character while being integrated into the urban fabric of Exeter, offering a blend of historic ambience and modern convenience. Residents benefit from proximity to the city centre and the university campus, and the locality’s long history is reflected in its streets and landmarks.
