About

Huntspill ward lies within the Somerset Levels, characterised by low-lying, flat landscapes dominated by agriculture and drainage channels. The area is primarily rural, with settlements like East Huntspill and West Huntspill forming its core. The River Huntspill, a man-made watercourse constructed during the Second World War, is a central feature, serving as a crucial freshwater reservoir for the nearby munitions factories at that time.

The ward's environment is shaped by the extensive Huntspill River and the King's Sedgemoor Drain, which manage water levels across the peat moors. Land use is largely pastoral, with fields for grazing and some arable farming. The flat terrain and network of watercourses define the quiet, functional character of this part of Sedgemoor district, distinct from the more tourist-focused coastal areas nearby.
