About

Moretonhampstead ward encompasses the historic stannary town of Moretonhampstead and surrounding rural parishes on the eastern fringes of Dartmoor. The area is characterised by its elevated position, with landscapes transitioning from open moorland to enclosed farmland and wooded valleys. The town itself functions as a local service centre for the dispersed population, with a central crossroads and a mix of traditional stone buildings.

A notable granite market cross stands in the centre, reflecting the town's medieval foundation. The local economy has historical roots in wool and pottery, with tourism now playing a significant role due to proximity to Dartmoor National Park. The ward includes smaller settlements like North Bovey and Mardon Down, with a network of narrow lanes connecting farms and hamlets across the hilly terrain.
