Fremington

About

Fremington ward is located in North Devon, covering the village of Fremington and surrounding rural areas. The ward sits along the River Taw estuary, offering views of the water and nearby marshland. It is primarily residential, with a mix of older cottages and newer housing developments. The area has a small shopping precinct, a primary school, and local amenities like a post office and pubs.

The ward includes parts of the Tarka Trail, a popular walking and cycling route that follows the old railway line. Agriculture plays a role in the surrounding countryside, with farmland stretching beyond the village. Fremington Quay, a historic port site, is now a heritage area with a café and visitor centre. Public transport links connect the ward to Barnstaple, the nearest town, making it a commuter base for the wider North Devon region.
