About

Bovey ward encompasses the town of Bovey Tracey and its surrounding rural parishes on the eastern edge of Dartmoor. The landscape transitions from the open moorland down to the wooded valleys of the River Bovey and its tributaries. The area's economy has historical roots in the ball clay industry and pottery production, with agriculture remaining a significant presence across the parish lands.

The ward includes the National Trust's Parke estate, which offers extensive wooded trails along the river. The town itself functions as a local service centre for the surrounding villages, with a mix of residential streets and commercial premises. The presence of the Heathfield industrial estate provides local employment in manufacturing and distribution sectors.
