West Dart

About

West Dart ward covers a rural expanse in the northern part of the South Hams district. Its landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and the upper reaches of the River Dart itself. The area includes several villages, such as Buckfastleigh and Scorriton, which serve as local centres amidst the predominantly agricultural surroundings. The ward's topography is defined by the eastern fringes of Dartmoor, bringing a mix of pasture and moorland.

A notable feature is the presence of Buckfast Abbey, a working monastery with a complex history dating back over a thousand years. The ward contains sections of the Dart Valley, where the river cuts through the countryside. Economic activities are largely linked to farming, forestry, and tourism drawn to the natural setting and historic sites. The area maintains a quiet, dispersed settlement pattern typical of this region.
