Broad Chalke is a picturesque village in Wiltshire, England, set on the banks of the River Ebble in the chalk-lined Chalke Valley. It sits beneath the rolling downland of Salisbury Plain and lies within the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB, giving the area its characteristic patchwork of fields, hedgerows and thatched cottages.
Traditionally agricultural, Broad Chalke remains a rural hub for surrounding farms but also supports a lively local community with a village pub, school and small artisan businesses. The village is notable for its historic buildings and parish church, and it hosts the annual Chalke Valley History Festival, which draws visitors interested in local heritage and the creative industries; many residents commute into Salisbury or work in conservation and tourism.
