Atworth is a small rural village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set in rolling countryside between the market towns of Melksham and Bradford-on-Avon and within easy reach of the city of Bath. Its position gives a mix of quiet village life and good access to larger centres, with lanes, farmland and hedgerows characterising the local landscape.
The area has an agricultural history and a compact village core of historic houses and a parish church, while nearby attractions such as Great Chalfield Manor and the Kennet and Avon Canal draw walkers, history buffs and boaters. Local community life is centred on village facilities and seasonal events, and many residents commute to surrounding towns for work while enjoying a strong village identity.
