Southway Ward In Plymouth 2003

The name is believed to have derived from the route into Plymouth often used by Buckland Abbey monks, which was known as the "South Way".

Southway lies to the north of the Southway Valley Local Nature Reserve, an area of woodland and grassland with extensive footpaths accessible from the housing estate.
