The small rural parish of Cholderton sits on the Wiltshire–Hampshire border in England, tucked into the Bourne valley at the edge of the chalk downs that rise onto Salisbury Plain. The landscape is typical chalk downland and mixed farmland with the River Bourne nearby; quiet lanes, hedgerows and pockets of woodland give the area a distinctly rural, low‑density character.
Historically the settlement grew around farming and its parish church, and agriculture still shapes the local economy, supplemented today by small businesses and visitors to attractions such as the well‑known Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm. Community life remains close‑knit, centred on the church, village events and local clubs, while easy road links make commuting to nearby towns like Andover and Salisbury a practical option.
