The Ganges ward is an electoral division within the Babergh district of Suffolk, England. It is largely rural, comprising small villages and arable farmland and reflecting the low-density, hedgerow-lined landscape typical of south Suffolk.
The ward shares in the wider historic and cultural character of Babergh, an area noted for medieval wool-town heritage and timber-framed architecture; locally the economy leans on agriculture, small businesses and rural tourism, while community life often centres on parish councils, village halls, seasonal events and a network of public footpaths prized by walkers and naturalists.
