Collingbourne Ducis is a small village and parish in the Bourne valley of north‑east Wiltshire, roughly six miles east of Marlborough. It sits on a chalk winterbourne - the seasonal River Bourne - with rolling downland and the training grounds of Salisbury Plain not far to the south, which gives the area its characteristic chalk soils and wide, open skies.
The "Ducis" element of the name records medieval ducal ownership and the village retains a visibly historic core of cottages and farm buildings. Agriculture, especially arable farming, still shapes the local economy, while a compact, active community is centred on the church, village hall and local amenities; many residents also commute to nearby towns, and the parish is popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle.
