Dinton is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set among rolling chalk downland and patchwork farmland. Its compact historic core of stone cottages and a parish church reflects a long rural history stretching back to the medieval period, and the surrounding lanes, small woods and hedgerows make it typical of southern Wiltshire countryside.
The local economy still has agricultural roots but many residents commute to larger towns; community life is sustained by a village hall, occasional fetes and conservation-minded neighbourhood groups. The parish appeals to walkers and anyone seeking a quiet, well-preserved rural settlement rather than urban amenities.
