The electoral ward is centred on the historic village of Silverton in Mid Devon, Devon, about ten miles north of Exeter. The area has a compact conservation core of stone cottages and lanes, a medieval parish church, St Mary the Virgin, and the landscaped remains of the former country estate at Silverton Park, all of which give the ward a distinctly rural and historic feel.
Economically it remains largely agricultural with a sprinkling of local shops and small businesses, alongside many households who commute to larger towns. Community life is lively for a small ward, centred on the village hall, school and local clubs, and the surrounding countryside - with footpaths and quiet lanes - is popular with walkers while ongoing conservation and local events help maintain its village character amid modern pressures.
