Dilton Marsh is a small rural village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set in low-lying countryside whose name reflects former marshy ground. The settlement is largely linear along the local lanes and is surrounded by farmland and hedgerows, a short distance from the market town of Westbury, which provides most shops and services for residents.
Historically an agricultural community, Dilton Marsh expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries while keeping a distinctly village character. There is an active local life centred on village institutions and occasional community events, with a mix of long-standing farming families and commuters who work in nearby towns; remnants of older rural industries and several distinctive period buildings give it a quietly historic feel.
