Roundswell is an electoral ward on the northern edge of Barnstaple in North Devon, Devon, England. It sits where suburban housing meets open countryside, with convenient road links to the A39 and easy access to the estuary of the River Taw, so it feels like a modern, semi-rural extension of the town rather than a traditional village.
The area grew rapidly from late 20th century onward, transforming former farmland into a mix of family housing, local shops, schools and light industry, and it now includes business and retail areas that help serve north Devon. Socially and culturally it tends to attract commuters and young families who value the balance of green space, community facilities and proximity to both the coast and Barnstaple’s amenities.
