Map of the UK

Chiseldon is a village and civil parish on the south‑eastern fringe of Swindon in Wiltshire, England. It sits on chalk downland at the edge of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a few miles from the Ridgeway and overlooking Liddington Hill, with the M4 corridor and towns such as Marlborough close enough to make it popular with commuters.

Historically the village has agricultural roots and a notable 20th‑century military presence - including Chiseldon Camp and a once‑important local railway - which have left heritage traces. Today it combines a strong parish community, village facilities and small businesses with easy access to countryside pursuits like walking and riding, making it a blend of rural character and practical links to nearby centres.
