Beanacre is a small rural hamlet in Wiltshire, England, sitting just north of Melksham in the low rolling landscape of north Wiltshire. Its character is defined by farmland, small pockets of woodland and close access to the Kennet and Avon Canal, which gives the area a pleasant mix of waterside paths and country lanes popular with walkers and cyclists.

Historically agricultural, Beanacre retains a handful of older buildings and farmsteads and today functions largely as a quiet residential community with links to nearby towns; many residents commute to places such as Chippenham or Bath for work. Social life tends to be low-key and community-focused, with local activities centred on village gatherings, countryside pursuits and canal-side recreation.
