Westbury-on-Severn sits on the western bank of the River Severn in the western part of the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, a few miles south‑west of Gloucester. The ward is predominantly rural, with a scattering of small villages and farmsteads, a riverside character and a number of historic buildings and an ancient parish church that hint at a long settlement history.
The local economy is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns, and the area benefits from easy access to the woods of the Forest of Dean and the tidal habitats of the Severn Estuary, popular for walking and birdwatching. Community life is village‑centred - pubs, halls and local events are important - and issues such as floodplain management and conservation of historic assets feature regularly in local affairs.
