About

St Marychurch ward lies on the northern edge of Torbay, forming a distinct urban area above the coastal resort of Torquay. The topography is notably hilly, with residential streets offering elevated views across the bay. Its centre is focused around the historic St Marychurch parish church and the adjacent pedestrianised Fore Street, which serves as the main local shopping area. The ward is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods, and includes several parks and green spaces.

The area is home to the Babbacombe Model Village, a detailed miniature landscape that has been a local attraction for decades. Nearby, the Babbacombe Cliff Railway provides a steep, historic link down to the secluded Babbacombe Beach. The ward's community is served by local schools and amenities, maintaining a separate identity from the busier seafront areas below while remaining an integral part of the wider Torbay authority.
