Broad Hinton is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set on the chalk downland of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement sits in a rural landscape of rolling hills and farmland, popular with walkers and cyclists, and is within easy commuting distance of Marlborough and Swindon.
Despite its modest size the village retains a strong community spirit, centred on a historic parish church, several traditional cottages and local events at the village hall. The local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns, and its mix of countryside character and proximity to the prehistoric and historic sites of Wiltshire gives Broad Hinton a quietly attractive, lived‑in feel.
