Broadheath is a ward in the district of Torridge, in north‑west Devon, England. It sits in a largely rural landscape of rolling farmland, hedgerowed lanes and scattered villages and hamlets, with easy links to the surrounding estuaries and the larger market towns of Bideford and Barnstaple.
The local economy is traditionally agricultural, complemented by small local businesses and a modest amount of tourism; you’ll find historic farmsteads and parish churches alongside modern community facilities. Social life tends to centre on village halls, parish councils and seasonal events, and the area is popular with walkers and cyclists who enjoy the quiet lanes and coastal scenery nearby.
