Colerne is a small village on a limestone ridge in north‑west Wiltshire, England, giving it some of the higher ground in the county and wide views across the surrounding countryside towards the Cotswolds and the Avon valley. The village has deep rural roots and a clearly visible historic core, with a parish church of medieval origin and remnants of 20th‑century military history in the form of the former RAF Colerne airfield on its edge.
Today Colerne blends farming and local services with a sizeable commuter population who work in nearby centres such as Bath and Bristol, and the community is lively for a village of its size, with a village hall, pub and regular local events that underline a strong sense of place and civic involvement. The landscape, history and former military presence all contribute to its distinct character within rural Wiltshire.
