Coombe Bissett is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set in the quiet Ebble valley a few miles south‑west of Salisbury. The village sits amid characteristic chalk downland and meadows, with the River Ebble winding nearby and easy access to the open spaces of Salisbury Plain, making it popular with walkers and those who enjoy a rural landscape.
Historically the name reflects the medieval Bissett family who once held land here, and the settlement retains a mix of old stone houses, a parish church and a village hall that keep community life lively. The local economy remains largely rural and agricultural, though many residents commute to Salisbury; community events, the primary school and countryside activities give the place a strong village feel rather than a commuter dormitory.
