Fovant & Chalke Valley

The Fovant & Chalke Valley ward lies in the south of Wiltshire, defined by its rolling chalk downland and dry valleys. This rural landscape is primarily agricultural, with large fields and scattered farmsteads. The area contains several villages, including Fovant, Broad Chalke, and Bowerchalke, each with a historic church and traditional buildings of flint and stone. The presence of the River Ebble, a seasonal chalk stream, supports this farming character.

A notable feature is the Fovant Badges, a series of regimental crests cut into the chalk hillside by soldiers stationed here during the First World War. The surrounding terrain offers extensive walking paths along the downs and through the valley. Community life is centred on the villages, with local shops, pubs, and village halls serving the resident population.
