Erlestoke is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, sitting on the north‑western edge of Salisbury Plain where chalk downland gives way to parkland and farmland. The landscape is dominated by the historic country estate of Erlestoke Park and the notable presence of HMP Erlestoke, while the area is within easy reach of the market town of Devizes.
Historically the village grew around the estate and retains a quiet, pastoral character with mature trees, listed buildings and a small, close‑knit community; farming and the estate have long shaped the local economy and social life. The mix of rural tranquility, estate history and the institutional presence makes Erlestoke an unusually varied spot for such a compact parish in Wiltshire.
