About

Stort Valley ward encompasses a largely rural portion of western Uttlesford, characterised by arable farmland and smaller settlements set along the River Stort. The landscape is defined by gentle, open fields and the waterway itself, which forms a natural corridor. The ward includes the village of Manuden and parts of the parish of Farnham, with a focus on agricultural land use. The area maintains a quiet, dispersed character away from major urban centres.

The river is a central feature, historically supporting milling and now providing a focus for local ecology and leisure. The ward contains several protected conservation areas and listed buildings that reflect its agricultural heritage. Public footpaths follow sections of the riverbank and field boundaries, connecting the scattered communities. The overall atmosphere is one of a working agricultural landscape interspersed with older village cores.
