Pilton West is a rural
parish council, the clerk of which is Geoff Dwyer.[4]
The parish spans a wide tract of land to the north-west of Barnstaple, from the
River Yeo and Smoky House Lane in the east to the banks of the River Taw's estuary and a short section of the A361 road in the south-west.[5] The A39 road — named here as Shirwell Road — and Upcott Hill run north–south through the parish, connecting it with Pilton proper.[5] There is also a north–south right of way that follows the path of a rivulet called the Colm Stream or Bradiford Water, and next to the right of way, a copse called Tutshill Woods.[5] One traveller reports that Tutshill Woods is a popular dog-walking spot.[6]
