About

Broadheath is a rural ward situated in the northern part of the Torridge district, characterised by a dispersed settlement pattern of small villages and hamlets set within agricultural land. The area's landscape is defined by rolling fields and wooded valleys, with the River Torridge forming part of its eastern boundary. This is primarily a working farming area, with the local economy centred around agriculture and land management.

The ward includes the villages of Alverdiscott and Newton Tracey, which contain its key community facilities such as the parish church and village hall. A notable local landmark is the historic Frithelstock Priory, a remnant of a 13th-century Augustinian monastery. The area is connected by a network of narrow country lanes, with larger towns like Great Torrington and Bideford providing essential services for residents.
