About

Alphington ward lies on the western edge of Exeter, bordering the River Exe and the countryside of Devon. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments from different eras. Its main thoroughfare is Alphington Road, which connects it directly to the city centre and carries significant daily traffic. The ward includes the village-like core of Alphington itself, which retains a distinct local high street with essential shops and services.

The landscape is characterised by the steep, wooded slopes of Exwick Hill, which offers views across the city. A notable feature is the presence of the historic Alphington Cottages, a row of thatched cob buildings dating back centuries. Recreation is served by local playing fields and the proximity to riverside paths along the Exe, leading towards the canal basin and Countess Wear.
