The small rural parish of Ansty lies in the rolling countryside of Wiltshire, England, and is characterised by a compact village core of stone and thatch, a long-established parish church and surrounding arable fields and downland. Its origin is medieval and you still find glimpses of older farmsteads, lanes and hedgerows that reflect a long agricultural history.
Today Ansty combines traditional farming with a commuter presence who travel to nearby market towns, while community life revolves around the village hall, the local pub and occasional village fêtes. The parish is popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet rural lifestyle, and local conservation interests often play a part in protecting its historic buildings and landscape.
