Liddington is a small village and civil parish on the southern edge of Swindon in Wiltshire, England, sited around Liddington Hill where the landscape drops into the Vale of White Horse. It sits on the rim of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has commanding views that make it a quiet, attractive spot for people who commute into Swindon or work locally in agriculture and small businesses.
The parish is notable for its hilltop chalk figure, the Liddington White Horse, and for easy access to ancient routes and earthworks such as the Ridgeway and nearby Barbury Castle, which together give the area a strong sense of history and make it popular with walkers, cyclists and history enthusiasts. Socially it retains a village feel with community facilities and events, while being close enough to Swindon for modern amenities.
