Cherhill is a small rural village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set on chalk downland within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its skyline is dominated by the high-profile Cherhill White Horse cut into Cherhill Down and the 19th-century Lansdowne Monument, both of which give sweeping views across the Kennet Valley and surrounding countryside.
The downs carry Bronze Age barrows and other earthworks, so the area has a long human history; today the parish is largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns such as Calne and Devizes. Cherhill attracts walkers and heritage visitors for its hill figures and easy access to prehistoric landscapes like Avebury, while village life remains quiet and community-minded with occasional local events rather than heavy industry.
