About

Box & Colerne ward covers a rural expanse in northwest Wiltshire, characterised by its limestone geology and elevated position on the Cotswold escarpment. The area is primarily agricultural, with large arable fields and livestock pastures defining the landscape. The two main settlements are the large village of Box and the smaller one of Colerne, both with historic cores featuring stone-built properties. The ward includes several smaller hamlets and is bordered by significant areas of woodland.

The ward's notable feature is the extensive network of disused stone quarries and mines, some of which have been repurposed for underground storage. The landscape is crossed by the route of the former Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway, now a quiet trail. Local governance is shared between a parish council and the larger Wiltshire Council unitary authority, focusing on issues like housing development and maintaining the rural character amidst its proximity to Bath.
