Burrator is an electoral ward in West Devon, Devon, England, sitting on the southern edge of Dartmoor and centred on the wooded valleys and open water of Burrator Reservoir. The landscape is scenic and well used for walking, cycling and birdwatching, with rugged moorland giving way to small farms and plantation woodland.
Economically the ward blends traditional agriculture with a steady stream of visitors and commuters to nearby Plymouth, and its history is tied to the late‑Victorian reservoir and Dartmoor’s long tradition of mining and rural industry. Local communities are relatively small and close‑knit, with conservation, outdoor leisure and village activities playing an important social role.
