About

Marwood ward covers a rural expanse north of Barnstaple, characterised by rolling farmland and scattered settlements. The area is defined by the River Caen flowing through its centre and the presence of the historic Marwood Hill Gardens. Land use is primarily agricultural, with a network of narrow lanes connecting farms and the small communities of Eastacott and Westacott.

The landscape includes areas of woodland and hedgerows, with the topography rising towards the south. The local economy is closely tied to farming, and the parish church of St Michael's in Marwood village serves as a focal point. The ward maintains a quiet, residential character distinct from the more urban areas to the south.
