About

Blackmoor Vale ward encompasses a rural portion of central Somerset, characterised by a landscape of low-lying, fertile farmland. The area is defined by its agricultural use, with fields and pastures divided by traditional hedgerows. Several small villages and hamlets are scattered throughout the ward, their settlements closely tied to the surrounding farmland. The topography is generally gentle, with the land draining towards the River Stour, which flows along the ward's eastern edge.

The ward's communities are centred on villages like Charlton Horethorne and Horsington, which contain the local amenities and historic parish churches. A notable feature is the presence of the ancient semi-natural woodland of Balsam Farm, a surviving fragment of the once-extensive Blackmoor Forest. The area's road network connects these settlements, with the A357 and A303 providing major routes through this primarily working landscape of farms and quiet lanes.
