About

Charterlands ward covers a rural portion of the South Hams district, primarily consisting of the villages of Loddiswell and Aveton Gifford along the tidal Avon estuary. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and quiet country lanes connecting scattered settlements. The area's economy has traditional ties to agriculture, with the local community centred around the parish churches, village halls, and primary schools that serve these historic villages.

The ward's geography is defined by the River Avon, which shapes the low-lying land and supports areas of marsh and estuary habitat. A passenger ferry operates seasonally from Aveton Gifford, providing a link across the river to the opposite bank. This is a working landscape of farms and quiet hamlets, with a sense of remove from the busier coastal towns elsewhere in the South Hams.
