The ward covers the small South Hams villages of Loddiswell and Aveton Gifford in Devon, England. Aveton Gifford sits on the lower reaches of the River Avon, where a tidal estuary widens towards the coast, while Loddiswell lies a short distance inland among rolling farmland, wooded valleys and hedgerow-lined lanes; both benefit from attractive riverside scenery and good birdwatching.
Locally the economy remains rooted in agriculture, small-scale tourism and village services, with pubs, a village hall and active community groups. There are historic touches - an old parish church at Aveton Gifford, stone bridges and the remains of the former Kingsbridge branch railway near Loddiswell - and riverside footpaths plus easy access to the South Devon coast make it popular with walkers and kayakers.
