About

Gade Valley ward occupies the southwestern portion of Three Rivers district, primarily defined by the course of the River Gade itself. The area encompasses a mix of residential settlements, farmland, and significant areas of managed woodland. The Grand Union Canal runs parallel to the river here, a historic transportation route that now supports leisure activities. Land use is characterised by this interplay between water corridors, pockets of development, and open green spaces.

The ward includes the villages of Hunton Bridge and parts of Kings Langley, with residential areas often situated on rising ground above the valley floor. A notable local feature is the former Ovaltine egg farm, with its distinctive long buildings, reflecting the area's historical agricultural and light industrial past. Large sections of the ward are within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with public footpaths and bridleways traversing the landscape.
