Abbey ward encompasses the historic market town of Cirencester, often considered the capital of the Cotswolds. The area is defined by its significant Roman history as Corinium, a major settlement, with the Corinium Museum housing extensive local artefacts.

The ward includes the expansive Cirencester Park, with its formal avenues and woodland walks owned by the Bathurst Estate. The town operates as a key commercial and civic hub for the surrounding rural district. Agricultural land and the River Churn, a Thames tributary, run through the ward's boundaries.
