About

South Petherton lies at the heart of this ward, a historic settlement with Saxon origins and a notable church tower built from the local golden Ham Hill stone. The area is primarily agricultural, characterised by arable fields and orchards that surround the village. The River Parrett flows to the west, influencing the low-lying landscape.

The Islemoor portion refers to the drained wetland areas north of the village, historically part of the Somerset Levels. This creates a distinct, open topography of grazing pastures and rhynes, or water channels. The ward's landscape is fundamentally shaped by its position between the higher ground of the Ham Hill ridge and the expansive, engineered moors.
