About

Bourton Vale ward encompasses a substantial rural portion of the Cotswold district, characterised by its expansive farmland and scattered, smaller settlements. The landscape is dominated by traditional agricultural patterns, with fields delineated by classic dry stone walls. The area includes several villages and hamlets, such as Little Rissington and Wyck Rissington, which feature limestone cottages and historic churches.

The River Windrush flows through parts of the ward, influencing the topography and supporting areas of meadowland. The ward's economy remains closely tied to the land, with a focus on farming and related enterprises. A notable local landmark is the former RAF Little Rissington airfield site, which has a distinct history separate from the more famous aviation museums found elsewhere in the region.
