The ward covers the villages of Chilworth, Nursling and Rownhams on the northern fringe of Southampton, within the borough of Test Valley in Hampshire. It combines suburban commuter neighbourhoods and small village centres with pockets of countryside, lying close to the chalk‑stream valley of the River Test and benefitting from good road links to the M27/M271 corridor.
Locally there is a mix of historic and modern character: Nursling retains an older village core and parish feel, while Rownhams and Chilworth are largely residential with village halls, sports clubs and small shops. The economy is mixed too, with many residents commuting into nearby urban centres, some light industry and business parks on the edge of the ward, and countryside recreation and community activity playing a big part in local life.
