About

Barnstaple's Sticklepath area lies along the eastern approach to the town, following the course of the River Taw. The district is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing estates and older properties. Its main thoroughfare is the A39, which carries significant traffic through the area, connecting it to the town centre and beyond. The presence of the river and its associated floodplain influences the local geography, creating a distinct corridor of green space amidst the developed landscape.

A notable local feature is the historic Sticklepath Viaduct, a prominent stone railway structure that spans the valley. While passenger services no longer run, the line remains active for freight. The area serves as a practical gateway, with several retail parks and business units located here, catering to both local and passing trade. This gives the district a functional character, balancing its residential role with its position on a major transport route.
