Raymond's Hill is an area of housing off the A35 road 2 miles south east of Axminster in East Devon.

The housing is low density and surrounded by trees and heathland protected by the District Council.

In 2002 the local MP Hugo Swire presented a 2,225 signature petition to Parliament on behalf of the residents, calling for a roundabout to be constructed at the notorious accident blackspot at the junction of the A35 and the B3165 at the Hunters Lodge Inn, Raymonds Hill.

In 2004 The Highways Agency completed a safety improvement scheme including new signs, red anti-skid surfacing and two traffic islands.
