Gastard in Wiltshire is a small rural village in the civil parish of Corsham, tucked into rolling chalk downland and quiet lanes. It sits a short drive from Corsham and the Georgian city of Bath, and many residents commute to larger centres such as Bristol and Swindon while the immediate area retains an agricultural character.
The village has centuries-old roots and a cluster of stone cottages built from local oolitic limestone, with village life focussed around a pub, a hall and occasional community events. Surrounding footpaths and nearby historic sites such as Lacock make it popular with walkers and visitors seeking a quiet base with easy access to bigger towns and the region’s heritage.
