About

Watlington ward encompasses the historic market town of Watlington along with surrounding rural parishes like Britwell Salome and Pyrton. The area lies at the foot of the Chiltern Hills escarpment, characterised by chalk downland, farmland and wooded areas. The town's linear street plan follows the ancient Icknield Way, with many buildings constructed from the local flint and brick.

The community is centred on the 12th-century St Leonard's Church and the 17th-century Town Hall. A distinctive feature is the 'Watlington White Mark', a large hill figure cut into the chalk of Watlington Hill in the 18th century. The ward maintains active parish councils and local societies focused on its heritage and rural environment.
