Chitterne is a small, rural parish in Wiltshire, sitting on the edge of Salisbury Plain. The setting is classic chalk downland with springs and a winterbourne stream, the Chitterne Brook, running through the valley; hedgerows, arable fields and a scatter of historic cottages give the place a distinctly agricultural feel, while the proximity of military training areas on the Plain influences local land use and access.
Its history is evident in surviving vernacular buildings and earthworks, but day‑to‑day life is quietly modern, centred on farming, a few small businesses and a close‑knit community that organises village events and relies on nearby towns for services. The parish’s tranquillity and easy access to walking country make it attractive to residents and visitors looking for a peaceful slice of Wiltshire countryside.
