About

Bickleigh & Cornwood ward encompasses a rural area of the South Hams, characterised by its network of small villages and hamlets set within the rolling landscape between the fringes of Dartmoor and the River Plym. The ward's settlements, including Bickleigh, Cornwood, and Lutton, are connected by narrow, winding lanes that follow the contours of the land. The geography is defined by wooded river valleys and areas of open farmland, with the presence of the ancient Cornwood and Lutton manors speaking to its long history of settlement.

A notable feature is the presence of the china clay industry, with active workings near Lee Moor shaping parts of the northern landscape. The ward contains stretches of the Two Moors Way long-distance footpath, attracting walkers exploring the transition from the high moor to the softer South Hams countryside. The River Yealm and its tributaries flow through the area, with Bickleigh's historic bridge crossing the river near the old mill.
