Broad Chalke is a small village and parish in Wiltshire, tucked into the Chalke Valley on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain and within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits beside a clear chalk stream amid rolling downland and hedgerows, with a compact cluster of historic buildings and thatched cottages a few miles south‑west of Salisbury.
The community retains a strong village feel - a primary school, village shop and post office, an historic parish church and a traditional pub - while agriculture and small local businesses remain important locally. Broad Chalke is also known for its landscape and wildlife (classic chalk‑stream ecology), its vernacular architecture and for hosting events nearby such as the Chalke Valley History Festival, which bring in visitors while keeping a quietly rural, culturally active atmosphere.
