About

Bishop's Nympton ward encompasses the village of Bishop's Nympton and surrounding hamlets within the North Devon countryside. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows, and wooded valleys typical of this region. The River Yeo flows through the parish, shaping the low-lying meadows. Settlement is largely dispersed, with a central core around the historic church. Agricultural use defines much of the landscape, with fields bounded by traditional Devon banks.

The ward's community is served by local facilities including a primary school and village hall. The notable 15th-century church tower of St. Mary's stands prominently, constructed from local sandstone. A former railway line, now a quiet trail, traces the course of the old Barnstaple to Yeoford route through the parish. The local economy has traditional roots in farming, with the landscape reflecting this long-established pattern of rural life.
