The ward centres on the villages of Moulton, Weston and Cowbit on the low-lying reclaimed fenlands of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England, a few miles from the market town of Spalding. The landscape is characteristically flat and open, criss-crossed by drains, dykes and pumping stations, with the nearby River Welland and the seasonal floodplain of Cowbit Wash still important for flood management and wildlife.
Economically the area is dominated by intensive arable farming, bulbs and vegetable production, supported by local agricultural services, while socially it retains a village-centred feel with churches, halls, pubs and community events. Historic traces of long-standing settlement and the engineering of drainage since medieval and post-medieval times give the area a distinct fenland identity that combines rural industry with valued natural habitats.
