Mary Tavy

About

Mary Tavy ward encompasses a rural expanse of West Devon, centred around the village of Mary Tavy itself. The area is defined by the upper reaches of the River Tavy, with its landscape characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and pockets of open moorland on the fringes of Dartmoor. Settlements are small and scattered, with a focus on agriculture and local community life. The ward includes the smaller neighbouring settlement of Horrabridge to the south.

The geography is shaped by its position near Dartmoor National Park, with a topography that includes several tributary streams feeding the Tavy. A notable local landmark is the Mary Tavy power station, a hydroelectric facility that has been operational for decades, representing a historical industrial presence within the pastoral setting. The area's network of narrow lanes connects farms and hamlets, with walking routes following the river valleys and accessing the open moorland to the north.
