About

Ambrook ward covers a mix of residential and rural land on the northern edge of Newton Abbot. The area includes several housing estates and is bordered by the A380, which connects it to the wider Teignbridge district. The landscape transitions into fields and farmland as it extends towards the parish of Highweek. This creates a clear boundary between the town and the surrounding countryside.

The ward is named after the Ambrook stream, a small watercourse that flows through the area. Residential development is predominant, with local services centred along key routes like Aller Park and Brunel Road. The presence of Decoy Country Park to the north-east provides a significant area of woodland and lakes for recreation, contrasting with the more built-up southern sections.
