About

Blewbury & Harwell ward is a predominantly rural area in the Vale of White Horse, characterised by its chalk downland landscape. The settlement pattern includes the historic village of Blewbury, with its thatched cottages and winding lanes, and the larger, more modern community of Harwell. The ward is bounded by the Berkshire Downs to the south and contains areas of ancient woodland and open farmland. The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, a major employer, is a significant feature in the north-eastern part of the ward.

The area is defined by the presence of the Harwell Campus, a large scientific research complex housing facilities like the Diamond Light Source synchrotron. This creates a distinct contrast with the surrounding agricultural land and the conservation area of Blewbury village. Public footpaths and the Ridgeway long-distance trail cross the downs, providing access to the rural scenery. The ward's communities are connected by local roads, with the A417 forming a key route through the area.
