The Ermington and Ugborough ward sits in the undulating countryside of the South Hams in Devon, England, tucked between the fringes of Dartmoor and the wooded river valleys that feed into the South Devon coast. It comprises small villages and hamlets set among farmland, hedgerows and narrow lanes, with good access by road to larger centres such as Plymouth and Totnes so many residents commute while retaining a distinctly rural feel.
Locally the area has an agricultural backbone alongside a growing mix of commuters and small rural businesses, and it attracts walkers and cyclists drawn to its lanes, bridleways and hill viewpoints. The villages have traditional stone buildings, churches and active community hubs - village halls, pubs and seasonal events - and conservation-minded local planning helps preserve the historic and scenic character that defines the ward.
