About

Chipping Sodbury & Cotswold Edge ward encompasses the historic market town of Chipping Sodbury and a swathe of countryside leading up to the western escarpment. The area is defined by the A46 corridor, with the town itself centred around its broad, long High Street. Settlement patterns mix the urban core with surrounding villages and hamlets set within farmland. The geography transitions from the level ground of the Sodbury Vale towards the rising woodlands of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The ward's landscape is characterised by the distinct limestone ridge of the Cotswold Edge, which forms a clear topographic boundary. Agricultural land use is prevalent, with fields demarcated by traditional dry stone walls. A notable local feature is the ancient defensive earthwork of Sodbury Camp, an Iron Age hillfort situated on the escarpment. The area functions as a residential and commercial hub for the surrounding rural communities, with commuting links to Bristol and the M4 motorway.
