The village of Hindon in Wiltshire, England is a compact, linear settlement built around a long high street lined with timber-framed and brick houses dating largely from the 17th and 18th centuries, a reminder of its origins as a medieval market town. It sits amid chalk downland and mixed farmland, offering easy access to walking country and the broad rural landscapes of southern Wiltshire.
Hindon is notable historically as a former parliamentary "rotten borough" abolished by the 1832 Reform Act, and today supports a small local economy of farms, small businesses and community activities centred on a village hall and pub; many residents commute to nearby centres such as Salisbury for work and services.
