About

Honiton South & West covers the southern and western parts of Honiton, where housing streets meet open fields and the River Otter runs through low-lying ground. The area contains a mix of terraces, semi-detached homes and pockets of newer housing, with allotments and pocket parks providing green space. Local workshops and light industrial units sit close to residential roads, reflecting the town’s market and manufacturing history. A railway station on the edge of the town provides a transport link for commuters and goods.

The town’s trade and craft history remains visible in everyday places: lace-making has shaped workshops, shopfronts and patterns passed down locally, and bobbin-lace designs appear in civic displays and craft events. Community facilities include primary schools, halls and small retail parades that serve surrounding streets. Street layouts and surviving older buildings recall Honiton’s role as a market town, while riverside paths and field boundaries mark the transition from built-up area to agricultural land on the town’s southern and western edges.
