About

St David's ward lies directly north of Exeter's city centre, bordering the River Exe. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. Its main thoroughfare is St David's Hill, leading up from the station. The ward includes a significant portion of Sidwell Street, a major retail artery. The presence of the university's Streatham Campus influences the southern edges, contributing to a mix of students and long-term residents.

The ward is defined by its transport links, centred on Exeter St David's railway station, a major regional hub. This creates a constant flow of passengers and a distinct transient atmosphere around the station approach. In contrast, quieter residential streets climb away from the main roads. The area contains several local shops, pubs, and essential services catering to its community. The historic St David's Church, after which the area is named, sits near the station.
