About

Tamarside ward encompasses a stretch of the western bank of the River Tamar, which forms the historic boundary between Devon and Cornwall. The area is characterised by rural settlements, farmland, and patches of woodland, with the river's presence shaping its geography and character. The landscape includes gentle slopes leading down to the tidal estuary, where mudflats are exposed at low tide.

The ward includes the village of Bere Alston, a former mining centre, and the smaller Bere Ferrers. A unique feature is the presence of the Bere Peninsula, almost surrounded by the Tamar and its tributaries. The area is served by the Tamar Valley Line railway, connecting it to Plymouth. This is a quiet, predominantly residential area with a focus on local community life.
