Saltash Tamar

About

Saltash Tamar ward encompasses the western part of the town of Saltash, situated directly beside the River Tamar which forms the border with Devon. The area is defined by its steep, wooded hillsides that descend to the water's edge, creating a distinct topography. Residential streets are arranged on these slopes, offering views across the river. The ward includes the main commercial centre around Fore Street, providing local services and shops for the community.

The area's history is closely linked to the Tamar, with the Victorian railway bridge, a pioneering tubular design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, serving as a prominent landmark. Ferry Lane leads down to the small Saltash Ferry crossing, a reminder of the historic connection to the opposite bank. The ward contains several local parks and green spaces, such as the informal pathways along the riverbank, which are used for recreation and dog walking by residents.
