Aldbourne sits on the northern edge of the Marlborough Downs in rural Wiltshire, a few miles north-east of Marlborough. The village is set among chalk downland with evidence of ancient activity on the hills above - round barrows and long-established field patterns give a strong sense of continuity with the prehistoric and medieval landscape.
On the ground Aldbourne is a picture of historic cottages, a medieval parish church and a compact village centre, supporting a primary school, local shops, pubs and active community groups. Agriculture remains important to the local economy, but many residents commute to nearby towns; the village’s conservation character and regular community events make it a focal point for surrounding hamlets.
