Bowerchalke is a small, picturesque village in Wiltshire, England, tucked into the chalk valley of the Chalke Valley on the upper reaches of the River Ebble. It sits within the rolling downland of Cranborne Chase AONB, close to the borders with Hampshire and Dorset and a short drive south of Salisbury.
The village is notable for its traditional cottages and historic buildings, a long agricultural heritage and the clear chalk-stream ecology that draws walkers and naturalists. Social life is that of a small, conservation-minded community with local events and a focus on farming, rural services and low-key tourism rather than heavy development.
