The area includes settlements like Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe, which developed historically around coal mining and forestry. The topography is defined by small valleys and heathland, with agriculture and smaller-scale industry forming the economic base.

A network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the ward, connecting communities through the rural terrain. The area is traversed by the Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail, a route following a former railway line. Local landmarks include the preserved mining wheel at Donisthorpe, reflecting the area's industrial past within its now predominantly green setting.
