About

Milton Ford is a rural ward covering a significant portion of West Devon's northern countryside. Its landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and scattered hamlets, with the River Tamar forming a natural boundary to the west. The area's economy has long been connected to agriculture and forestry. Settlements like Milton Abbot and Dunterton provide small community hubs within this expansive parish.

The ward's history is quietly evident in its landscape and buildings. Brentor Church, perched atop a dramatic volcanic outcrop, is a distant but defining landmark on the skyline. The area contains remnants of its mining past and traditional stone bridges crossing its streams. Life here is shaped by the rhythms of the land and the challenges of connectivity in a sparsely populated region.
