About

Feniton ward covers a rural area centred around the village of Feniton itself, located a few miles northeast of Honiton. The landscape is primarily agricultural, characterised by fields, hedgerows, and scattered farmsteads. The ward includes the smaller settlements of Fenny Bridges and Colestocks, with the River Otter flowing through the southern part of the parish. The area is served by Feniton railway station on the West of England main line, providing a direct link to London and Exeter.

The local economy has traditional ties to farming, though many residents now commute to nearby towns. The parish church of St. Andrew, with its distinctive tall spire, is a notable landmark. A significant feature is the complex network of ancient springs and watercourses that feed the Otter, historically influencing settlement patterns. Development is constrained by its location within a flood plain, shaping the community's growth and character.
