Fairford North sits in the northern part of the small market town of Fairford in the heart of the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. The ward mixes typical Cotswold stone housing and village outskirts with surrounding pasture and arable land fed by the small River Coln, and benefits from easy road links towards Cirencester and Swindon.
Locally it feels very much like a traditional market-town community, with independent shops, pubs and village halls alongside farming activity. Nearby St Mary's Church in Fairford is famous for its medieval stained glass, and the presence of RAF Fairford just outside town - used for large air displays and occasional military visits - gives a distinctive economic and social twist, bringing visitors and seasonal trade to the area.
