About

The Wolds ward encompasses a largely rural portion of Charnwood borough, characterised by rolling farmland and small, historic villages such as Wymeswold and Burton on the Wolds. The landscape is defined by agricultural fields and country lanes, with a sense of open space. The area includes the northern stretches of the Leicestershire Wolds, a low range of hills that influence the topography.

Local life centres on the village communities, which maintain traditional features like village greens and medieval churches. Wymeswold is notable for its former airfield, a significant Second World War RAF station, parts of which have been repurposed for light industry and community use. The ward's economy remains connected to farming, with a mix of residential and light commercial development.
