About

Newtown and St Leonard's sits directly north of Exeter's city centre, bounded by the River Exe to the west and Longbrook Street to the east. Its layout is defined by a dense grid of residential streets, primarily composed of Victorian terraced housing. The ward includes the university's Streatham Campus, integrating student life with longstanding local communities. The area functions as a key residential and academic quarter, with a mix of local shops and services along New North Road.

The ward's character is strongly influenced by its topography, with steep slopes leading down towards the river. It contains the historic St Leonard's church, which lends its name to the area. A notable feature is the presence of the medieval City Wall, sections of which run through the ward, visibly marking the old northern boundary of Exeter. The area provides essential housing close to the city's core, balancing educational institutions with established neighbourhoods.
