Sandford & Creedy

Sandford & Creedy ward lies in the eastern part of Mid Devon, encompassing a primarily rural landscape of rolling farmland and the villages of Sandford and Crediton Hamlets. The area is defined by the valleys of the River Yeo and the River Creedy, which converge here, shaping the topography and historical settlement patterns. Agricultural activity is a central feature of the local economy and environment.

The ward includes the northern outskirts of Crediton, providing a residential transition from the town into the countryside. A notable local landmark is the historic Sandford Church, situated near the river. The area is connected by the A377 corridor, which runs alongside the railway line, linking it to Exeter and Barnstaple while separating the more populated edges from the quieter, inland farming communities.
