About

Pewsey ward encompasses the large rural village of Pewsey itself along with several surrounding hamlets and open countryside in eastern Wiltshire. The area is defined by the wide, flat expanse of the Vale of Pewsey, a significant geological trough separating the chalk uplands of Salisbury Plain from the Marlborough Downs. Agriculture remains a visible part of the local landscape, with fields bordering the settlements. The ward includes the notable landmark of Pewsey White Horse, a chalk hill figure carved into a northern slope.

The village of Pewsey serves as a central hub, with the River Avon flowing through it. The area is crossed by the Kennet and Avon Canal, which features a series of locks near the village centre, including the substantial Pewsey Wharf. The historic Savernake Forest lies to the northeast, on the ward's boundary. Transport links are marked by the presence of the main railway line from London to the West Country, which has a station at Pewsey.
