Rewe is a village in eastern Devon along the A396 road about a mile north of the larger village of Stoke Canon. It is beside the River Culm, five miles north of the City of Exeter and nine miles south of Tiverton.
Rewe is a linear village, with most of its buildings standing beside the A396.
The Reading to Plymouth railway line also passes through the village, but there has never been a station here; the nearest operating station is Exeter St Davids, though there was formerly a station at Stoke Canon.
The parish church is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, built around 1450 in the Perpendicular Gothic style.
The hamlet of Up Exe (or Upexe) is within the parish, and may be foud by the River Exe about two miles north of Rewe. Up Exe Halt was a station on the Exe Valley Railway Line, but closed in 1963.
