About

Rowbarton & Staplegrove is a residential ward on the western edge of Taunton, primarily composed of housing estates developed in the latter half of the 20th century. The area is characterised by its suburban layout, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, local schools, and convenience retail outlets. It functions largely as a commuter base for the town centre and beyond, with straightforward road links into Taunton and towards the M5 motorway.

The ward encompasses the grounds of the former Tone Vale Hospital, with some of its historic estate buildings now repurposed within a modern business park. Green spaces are provided by several playing fields and the sweeping, open grassland of Staplegrove Recreation Ground, which offers views towards the Quantock Hills. The community is served by its own distinct parish council, focusing on local matters within this settled part of the Taunton conurbation.
