About

Budleigh & Raleigh ward encompasses the coastal town of Budleigh Salterton and its immediate surrounding parish. The area is defined by the River Otter estuary to the west and rolling farmland to the east. The town centre runs along the High Street, leading down to a pebble beach and a historic, active seafront. The Jurassic Coast cliffs form a prominent backdrop here.

Inland, the ward includes the village of East Budleigh, known for its thatched cottages and connections to Sir Walter Raleigh. The landscape is characterised by the Otter Valley, with its walking paths and nature reserves. A distinctive local feature is the use of deep red Triassic sandstone in many older buildings, giving a consistent colour to the historic architecture.
