Dilton Marsh is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, lying close to the market town of Westbury. The name hints at its origins on wetter, marshy ground by small streams, and the settlement grew from scattered hamlets into a compact village during the 19th and 20th centuries set within the rolling countryside near Salisbury Plain.
Today it is largely residential with surrounding farmland, local shops, a village hall and a pub, and retains a mix of traditional cottages and later Victorian or 20th‑century houses. Good local rail and road links to neighbouring towns mean many residents commute, while a small local economy and active community groups keep village life fairly close‑knit and quiet.
