Edington is a small village in Wiltshire, England, tucked close to the northern edge of Salisbury Plain and a short distance from Westbury. Its most striking historic feature is the medieval priory church founded by William of Edington in the 14th century, a well-preserved example of ecclesiastical architecture that marks the village as historically important beyond its size; the nearby hillside chalk figure of the Westbury White Horse and the dry valleys of the plain shape the local landscape.
The village has a quiet, rural character with agriculture still visible in the surrounding farms, but many residents commute to nearby towns for work. Culturally it punches above its weight thanks to the long-running choral and music gatherings held in the priory church each summer, and community life centres on village events, the church and a handful of local amenities that sustain a close-knit social scene.
