About

Newbridges ward covers a largely rural area on the western edge of East Devon, characterised by its patchwork of agricultural fields and scattered farmsteads. The landscape is defined by the gentle valleys of the River Otter and its tributaries, which flow through the parish. Settlement is primarily focused in the small, linear village of Northleigh, with other hamlets like Southleigh and Yettington situated along quiet country lanes.

The area's historical identity is closely tied to its medieval bridges, including the namesake New Bridge over the Otter, which dates from the 15th century. This network of old stone crossings facilitated local travel and farming for centuries. The ward's quiet character is anchored by working farmland and areas of traditional deciduous woodland, with few large-scale modern developments altering its essentially pastoral setting.
