Broughton Gifford in Wiltshire, England is a compact village and civil parish set in the rolling chalk-and-clay countryside typical of the county. The centre is made up of stone cottages and a parish church with medieval origins, giving it a distinctly historic feel while sitting within easy reach of Melksham and within commuting distance of Bath and Bristol.
Historically an agricultural settlement, the village today mixes farming with residents who work in nearby towns; there is an active community life centred on the village hall, clubs, occasional village events and the local pub. That blend of historic buildings, rural landscape and decent links to larger centres makes Broughton Gifford a characterful example of a modern Wiltshire village.
