About

St Loyes is a residential ward located to the south of Exeter city centre, bordering the River Exe. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the mid-20th century, with a significant number of bungalows and semi-detached homes. It contains local shopping parades providing essential services and is well-connected by main roads, including Topsham Road, which runs through the area. The ward is primarily a settled, family-oriented neighbourhood with a notable student population due to its proximity to the University of Exeter's Streatham Campus.

The landscape includes the steep, wooded valley of Hoopern Valley, which contains a series of university playing fields and offers green space within the urban setting. This natural feature creates a distinct boundary and provides walking routes. The area is also home to the former Digby Hospital site, which has been redeveloped for housing. St Loyes is served by several primary schools and is within walking distance of the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, a major regional employer.
