East Knoyle in Wiltshire, England is a small rural village and civil parish on the county’s southern edge close to the Dorset border, set within the rolling chalk downland of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape of hedged fields, wooded combes and lanes gives the area a classic south‑west English countryside character while still being within reasonable reach of market towns such as Salisbury.
With medieval roots the village still shows historic stone cottages, a parish church and a few larger estate houses; its economy is largely agricultural with some commuting to nearby towns. Community life is active for a settlement of its size, centred on a village pub, hall and local events, and the locality is popular with walkers and visitors seeking quiet countryside and local history.
