About

Fremington ward covers a largely rural expanse on the Taw-Torridge estuary's southern bank, extending inland from the tidal mudflats and salt marshes. The area includes the large village of Fremington itself, along with smaller settlements like Yelland and parts of Bickington. Its landscape is dominated by agricultural land, with several working farms, and is bordered by the A361 North Devon Link Road, which defines much of its eastern boundary.

The ward has a significant industrial and transport heritage, centred on Fremington Quay, which was once one of Britain's busiest clay exporting ports. This history is preserved at the Quay's museum. The area now features a major business and distribution park near the Link Road, contrasting with the quiet, creek-side walking paths along the old railway line that follow the estuary's edge.
