Lechlade, Kempsford & Fairford South sits on the southern edge of the Cotswold district in Gloucestershire, where the gentle limestone hills give way to the floodplain of the River Thames. The ward includes the riverside market town of Lechlade, the low-lying agricultural village of Kempsford and the southern parts of Fairford, so the landscape mixes moorland, water meadows and small-scale farms.
Locally the economy is a blend of farming, leisure and small businesses, with boating, birdlife and walking attracting visitors; Lechlade’s quay and markets are long-standing focal points. Heritage and community life are strong too - Fairford is noted for its medieval church glass and the area sits close to RAF Fairford, whose presence and periodic air displays give an unusual modern twist to a largely rural district.
