Liddington is a small village and civil parish on the edge of Swindon in Wiltshire, in south‑west England. It sits below Liddington Hill and lies within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it’s popular with walkers and offers broad views over the surrounding countryside; the ancient Ridgeway is also close by and the M4 corridor makes larger towns easily accessible for commuters.
Despite its proximity to the town, the village retains a rural character shaped by farming and long‑standing local families, with a small, active community centred on the village hall and occasional local events. The landscape is notable for prehistoric earthworks on Liddington Hill, giving the place a visible historic depth alongside its quieter contemporary role as a peaceful residential and recreational spot.
