About

Collaton St Mary is a residential ward situated on the northern edge of Torbay, bordering the South Hams district. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates and suburban development, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. Its landscape includes gentle, rolling hills that provide views over the surrounding countryside, rather than the coastal scenery found in other parts of the borough.

The ward contains the grounds of the former Collaton St Mary College, a site with a long educational history now being redeveloped for housing. Local amenities are focused around a small parade of shops and a primary school, serving the immediate community. Traffic from the nearby A3022 road is a notable feature, connecting the area to Paignton and the wider Torbay road network.
