Brinkworth is a compact rural parish in north Wiltshire, England, set in rolling chalk downland and surrounded by mixed farmland and hedgerows. It sits within easy reach of Swindon and the M4, and is close to the market towns of Royal Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury, making it popular with both traditional farming families and commuters.
Historically agricultural, the parish retains a strong village character with a medieval parish church, stone cottages and a small cluster of community facilities; local life centres on the village hall, parish council activities and occasional fêtes, while conservation of the landscape and listed buildings helps preserve its historic feel even as some residents commute to nearby centres for work.
