About

Blunsdon and Highworth ward encompasses a large, predominantly rural area northeast of Swindon's urban centre. The landscape is characterised by open farmland, small woods, and scattered settlements. The ward includes the historic market town of Highworth, which sits on a significant hilltop ridge, and the village of Blunsdon. Development is mostly contained within these established communities, preserving the agricultural character of the surrounding land.

A notable local feature is the preserved section of the former Highworth branch railway line, now a quiet recreational path. Economic activity includes local commerce in the towns and farming across the wider ward. The area maintains a distinct separation from Swindon's main built-up area, offering a more village-oriented pace of life while remaining within the borough's administrative boundary.
