Chedworth & Churn Valley

The Chedworth & Churn Valley ward encompasses a rural area in the central Cotswolds, defined by its rolling hills and the course of the River Churn. It includes the villages of Chedworth, Compton Abdale, and Northleach, alongside several smaller hamlets and scattered farms. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with large arable fields and pastureland divided by traditional dry stone walls and hedgerows.

The area is known for its significant Roman history, with the extensive remains of a large villa complex at Chedworth featuring well-preserved mosaic floors. The local economy is largely based on farming and forestry, with the historic market town of Northleath providing a central hub. The surrounding woodlands and the river valley create a distinct, quiet character away from the region's busier tourist centres.
