About

Burrator ward encompasses a significant portion of the rugged western fringe of Dartmoor National Park. The landscape is dominated by open moorland, granite tors, and the large reservoir that gives the area its name. Settlements are small and scattered, primarily consisting of villages like Meavy and Sheepstor, which are focal points for the local community.

The area is defined by water management and historic rural industry. Burrator Reservoir, constructed in the late 19th century, supplies Plymouth and creates a focal point for recreation. Remains of old tin mining works and quarries are found across the moor, speaking to the area's industrial past. The remote quality of the high moor attracts walkers and cyclists exploring the tors and valleys.
