About

Plympton St Mary ward sits on the eastern edge of Plymouth, bordering the South Hams district. The area encompasses a mix of residential neighbourhoods, local retail centres, and significant green spaces like Plympton Park. Its landscape is characterised by rolling hills and the valley of the River Plym, which shapes its northern boundary.

The ward includes the historic core of Old Plympton, with its 15th-century guildhall and St Mary's Church. A notable feature is the presence of the Plympton St Mary railway station, a halt on the rural Tamar Valley Line connecting to Gunnislake. This provides a distinct, quieter residential character compared to the city centre, with communities centred around local schools and parks.
