Chilmark is a small rural village and civil parish in Wiltshire, set on the western edge of Salisbury Plain. Its landscape is typified by chalk downland, mixed farmland and hedgerows, and it sits within easy reach of market towns such as Salisbury and Tisbury, making it popular with walkers and those seeking quiet country life.
The area is notable for its locally quarried oolitic building stone - often called Chilmark stone - and for a network of former underground quarries and caverns that saw industrial and military use in the 20th century. These historic features, a small cluster of traditional buildings including the parish church, and an agricultural base all contribute to a close-knit rural community with a strong sense of place.
