The electoral ward of Publow & Whitchurch in Bath and North East Somerset, England sits in the rural belt between Bristol and Bath, taking in a string of small villages such as Publow, Whitchurch and Pensford. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and river valleys, notably the River Chew, and punctuated by the dramatic stone arches of the disused Pensford Viaduct, a striking piece of Victorian railway architecture that is a local landmark.
Locally the ward mixes agriculture with a strong commuter presence for nearby cities, while village life centres on pubs, halls, clubs and active parish councils. There is plenty of historic interest in the form of medieval churches, listed cottages and former industrial sites, and community events, conservation groups and small businesses help sustain the social and cultural fabric of the area.
