CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
We are to be found on the Marlborough Downs and entirely within in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our southern border takes in the unmatched Wansdyke and West Woods (now identified as the source of Stonehenge’s mighty Sarsen Stones), while to our west is the World Heritage Area of Avebury. We are a community of some 200 residents and our focus is on the rural economy including farming, horse racing, leisure and forestry. We treasure the heritage of our historic countryside and being an unmatched open and natural space for all.
