Bratton is a small Wiltshire village set on chalk downland a couple of miles north of Westbury, with sweeping views from Bratton Down that host the famous Westbury White Horse and the prehistoric earthworks of Bratton Camp and several Bronze Age barrows. The landscape is typically rolling chalk country, used for arable farming and grazing, and gives the village a strong sense of rural character while sitting within easy commuting distance of towns such as Trowbridge.
Historically rich yet quietly lived-in, Bratton combines a historic parish core, village amenities and an active community life - village hall events, a local pub and primary school - while economy and daily life now mix traditional agriculture with people working in nearby towns. The prominent hill figure and ancient monuments make it a local focus for walkers and history enthusiasts as well as residents.
