About

Ellacombe sits on the steep hillside overlooking Torbay's harbour, forming a residential neighbourhood between the town centre and higher ground. The area is characterised by tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many built as homes for the resort's workforce. Its streets follow the challenging contours of the slope, creating a distinctive, layered appearance when viewed from the harbour below.

The ward is served by its own local shopping parade along Ellacombe Church Road, providing essential services to the community. A notable local landmark is the Ellacombe Tower, a former church bell tower that now stands independently on the hillside, a remnant of a demolished Victorian church. The area offers direct pedestrian access down to the harbour front via a series of stepped paths and narrow lanes.
