Erlestoke in Wiltshire is a small, quiet village and civil parish set on the north‑west edge of the Salisbury Plain, a short drive from Devizes. It occupies rolling chalk downland and mixed farmland, with lanes and woodland that make it popular for country walks and give a strong rural character.
The cluster of buildings centres on a historic country estate, Erlestoke Park, whose house and grounds now also accommodate HMP Erlestoke, an important local employer. The parish retains a small church and a handful of historic cottages and listed buildings, and the community is typical of small Wiltshire villages: modest, close‑knit and shaped by agriculture and the estate’s presence.
