Devauden is an electoral ward in Monmouthshire, Wales, set amid rolling farmland and wooded ridges just inland from the Severn Estuary. The ward sits close to the border with England and sits within easy reach of the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean, giving it a landscape of quiet lanes, stone cottages and access to popular walking and cycling country.
Traditionally agricultural, the area now combines farming with a commuter and rural-tourism economy and a lively local community life centred on village halls and seasonal events. There are traces of historic estates and rural industry in the built environment, and its mix of scenic countryside and proximity to towns such as Chepstow means it often attracts people looking for country living with decent links to larger centres.
