About

Combe Martin ward is a coastal area in North Devon, stretching from the Bristol Channel inland along a steep, wooded valley. The settlement is largely linear, following the main road and the River Umber, with residential properties and local businesses concentrated in this narrow strip. The surrounding landscape consists of agricultural land and rising hillsides, part of the Exmoor National Park fringe.

The area's economy has historically been linked to small-scale silver mining, with the remains of the 19th-century mines visible in the valley. The long, pebbly beach and sheltered bay are central to its coastal character. A notable local feature is the annual Hunting of the Earl of Runn tradition, a custom performed through the village streets.
