The area is defined by the western edge of the Cotswolds, with the River Isbourne flowing through the town. Its landscape includes rolling hills and farmland, creating a mix of rural and residential settlement patterns.

The town centre is a conservation area with notable timber-framed buildings and the 15th-century St Peter's Church.

The ward is traversed by the long-distance walking route, the Cotswold Way, which passes directly through the town on its path from Chipping Campden to Bath.
