The ward of Bickleigh & Cornwood sits in the rural north of the South Hams district of Devon, England, made up of a scattering of villages, hamlets and farms. Rolling farmland, wooded valleys and quiet lanes characterise the area, with easy commuter links into Plymouth and nearby market towns such as Ivybridge, and within reach of both the coast and Dartmoor.
Local life revolves around parish churches, village halls and pubs, and the economy is largely agricultural with a mix of small businesses, craft trades and rural tourism; walkers and people seeking a quieter country base are often drawn here. Historic stone cottages and long-established farmsteads give a sense of heritage, while an active community calendar of fetes and clubs keeps the villages socially engaged.
