About

Topsham ward sits on the eastern edge of Exeter, bordering the broad estuary of the River Exe. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing from different periods. Its streets slope down towards the water, where a small harbour and a network of historic quays are located. This connection to the river has long defined the area's character and layout.

The ward contains a conservation area with many well-preserved 17th and 18th century buildings, reflecting its past as a significant port. Local amenities are centred along Fore Street, which runs parallel to the river. A notable feature is the presence of several Dutch-gabled merchant houses, a legacy of Topsham's former trade in wool and wine with the Low Countries.
