Greatfield is a small, rural settlement in Wiltshire, England, set in the rolling chalk downland and patchwork farmland that characterises much of the county. It is the kind of place where land use is dominated by mixed arable and pasture, lanes and hedgerows, and where residents typically look to nearby larger villages and market towns for shops and services.
Like many tiny Wiltshire hamlets, Greatfield has a quietly historic feel - old farmhouses, field boundaries and occasional signs of ancient routes or archaeology are common - while community life tends to revolve around parish events, village halls and country pursuits. The area is popular with walkers and naturalists for its open skies, farmland birds and unspoilt rural character.
