About

The Newent and Taynton ward encompasses the market town of Newent along with surrounding rural settlements like Taynton and Kempley. The area is characterised by agricultural land, orchards, and pockets of woodland on the fringes of the Forest of Dean plateau. Newent itself functions as a local service centre with independent shops and businesses lining its streets, centred around a historic market house. The gently rolling landscape is defined by fields and hedgerows, with scattered farms and older stone-built properties.

A notable local feature is the National Birds of Prey Centre, located just outside Newent. The area's economy has traditional ties to farming, particularly fruit growing, and forestry. The ward includes the historic church of St Mary's in Kempley, which contains rare and well-preserved medieval wall paintings. Road connections primarily follow older routes, with the A40 providing a main link to Gloucester, maintaining the ward's position as a distinct community within the broader Forest district.
