About

Kingsbridge ward is located in the South Hams district of Devon, covering the town of Kingsbridge and surrounding rural areas. The town sits at the head of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a tidal inlet connected to the Salcombe Estuary. The area features a mix of historic buildings, including the 13th-century Church of St Edmund, and a range of independent shops and businesses along the high street.

The ward includes several smaller settlements, such as West Alvington and Dodbrooke, which contribute to its semi-rural character. The estuary provides opportunities for water-based activities, while the surrounding countryside offers walking trails. Local amenities include a secondary school, health centre, and leisure facilities. The ward's economy relies on tourism, retail, and services, with a focus on catering to both residents and visitors.
