Boundaries
The constituency covers the majority of the Torbay unitary authority in Devon, including the seaside resorts of Torquay and Paignton.
Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which slightly altered this constituency for the General Election 2010 since which it has electoral wards:
- Clifton-with-Maidenway, Cockington-with-Chelston, Ellacombe, Goodrington-with-Roselands, Preston, Roundham-with-Hyde, St Marychurch, Shiphay-with-the-Willows, Tormohun, Watcombe, and Wellswood.
The remainder of the borough is covered by the Totnes constituency.
