Bulford is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, sitting on the eastern edge of Salisbury Plain beside the River Bourne. Its character is strongly influenced by the neighbouring Bulford Camp, a long‑established military garrison, so the local economy and social life often reflect the needs of service personnel and their families alongside more traditional rural activities.
The parish is notable for the chalk figure known as the Bulford Kiwi, cut into the hillside by New Zealand troops after the First World War, and the surrounding training landscape and memorials give the area a distinctive historic feel. Community life blends garrison culture, farming and commuting to nearby towns such as Amesbury and Salisbury, resulting in a close‑knit, service‑orientated local community.
