Broughton Gifford is a compact village and civil parish in Wiltshire, set in the rolling countryside typical of the county. It sits within easy reach of towns such as Melksham, Trowbridge and Bath, and combines traditional stone and brick cottages with later housing, surrounded by farmland that gives the place a distinctly rural feel while remaining commutable to larger centres.
The village’s long history is evident in its parish church and several listed buildings, and local life is centred on a village hall, pub and sports clubs; seasonal fetes and community events are part of the social calendar. Once predominantly agricultural, the economy now blends farming with residents who commute, and active local groups work to conserve the area’s historic and natural character.
