About

Malmesbury ward encompasses the historic market town of Malmesbury itself, along with several surrounding villages and rural areas. The town is situated on a flat hilltop, a plateau created by the convergence of two branches of the River Avon, which nearly surround the settlement. The area is primarily agricultural, with mixed farming across the surrounding countryside defining much of the local landscape and economy. The administrative boundary includes outlying communities like Corston and St Paul Malmesbury Without.

The town's focal point is its partially ruined 12th-century Benedictine abbey, which remains a significant architectural presence. A notable topographical feature is the steep, terraced gardens leading down from the abbey grounds towards the river level below. The area's infrastructure includes the A429 road, which connects to the M4 motorway, influencing local commuting patterns. Malmesbury's historic street plan, with narrow lanes converging on the market cross, continues to shape the town centre.
