About

Tisbury ward encompasses the large village of Tisbury itself along with several surrounding hamlets in the rural Nadder Valley. The area is characterised by chalk downland, farmland, and the River Nadder. The settlement is a local service centre with shops, schools, and a railway station on the West of England main line, providing a direct connection to London. The local economy has historical ties to the quarrying of Tisbury stone, a distinctive green sandstone.

The landscape includes ancient field systems and wooded areas, with the notable prehistoric site of Whitesheet Hill lying to the east. The ward contains buildings constructed from the local limestone and sandstone, including the medieval parish church of St John the Baptist. The area is part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with public footpaths traversing the chalk hills.
