About

Chalford ward encompasses a steep-sided valley along the River Frome, with its historic settlements built directly into the hillsides. The area is defined by its industrial heritage, visible in the many former mill buildings and workers' cottages that cling to the slopes. Narrow, winding lanes connect the scattered hamlets, creating a distinct linear village structure along the valley floor and the old Thames and Severn Canal route.

The community is served by local shops and pubs centred in Chalford and Chalford Hill. A specific feature is the extensive network of public footpaths, including the Golden Valley Path, which follows the disused canal and provides access to wooded hillsides. This network of paths connects residents to the surrounding Cotswold escarpment landscapes and remains a central part of local life.
