Hele is a village in Devon, England, lying about one mile (1.6 km) SSW of Bradninch and 10 miles (16 km) NNE of Exeter. The village is home to a paper mill once belonging to the company Wiggins Teape, now part of the multinational company Purico Group. The Devon Valley Mill produces sausage casing paper and teabag paper under the "Crompton Paper" brand name. The nearby railway station, now closed, used to serve Hele and Bradninch.
