The ward centres on the village of Bishopsteignton in Teignbridge, Devon, England, perched above the north bank of the Teign Estuary with views across to Torbay and the neighbouring coastal settlements of Shaldon and Teignmouth. The setting combines steep lanes, orchards and smallholdings, giving a rural feel despite good road and rail links to Newton Abbot and Exeter.
The place has medieval roots and its name reflects historic links with the bishops of Exeter; a compact centre of stone cottages, a parish church and a village hall underpin an active community life of fêtes, clubs and waterside pastime. The local economy mixes agriculture and small independent businesses with a dose of tourism, and the conservation-minded, scenic character makes it popular with walkers, sailors and visitors exploring the south Devon coast.
