About

Wellington ward covers a largely rural area surrounding the town of Wellington in Somerset. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and farmland, with several small villages like Westford and Langford Budville. The Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, form a significant part of its western boundary, influencing the local scenery and land use.

The ward includes the northern outskirts of Wellington itself, blending suburban edges with working agricultural land. A notable local feature is the Wellington Monument, a prominent obelisk on the Blackdown Hills maintained by the National Trust. The local economy has historical ties to the wool and cloth industries, with some former mill buildings still present in the area.
