Coombe Bissett is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire set in the chalk valley of the River Ebble, a few miles south of Salisbury. The surrounding landscape is classic chalk downland, notably the species-rich Coombe Bissett Down SSSI, with meadows, hedgerows and footpaths that make it popular for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
The community combines a long history - the name reflects medieval ownership by the Bisset family - with a modern rural economy based on agriculture and commuting into nearby towns. Village life centres on a pub, village hall and parish church, plus seasonal fêtes and clubs, giving it an active social scene despite its small size.
