Bere Ferrers is a compact, riverside ward in West Devon, Devon, England, sitting on the west bank of the River Tavy opposite Bere Alston. It retains a rural feel with farmland, riverside walks and a small local community served by a station on the Tamar Valley Line, making commuting into Plymouth feasible and bringing modest visitor traffic for boating and angling.
The village has deep roots - its name reflects medieval ownership by the Ferrers family - and features a historic parish church and village amenities. It is notable for a tragic early 20th-century rail accident and benefits from being within the attractive Tamar valley landscape, so local life mixes agriculture, tourism and a strong community identity.
