The small village and civil parish of Hindon lies in south Wiltshire, on the chalk and downland fringe between Cranborne Chase and Salisbury Plain in England. Set in a sheltered valley, it has attractive surrounding countryside popular with walkers and farmers and retains a compact centre of period houses and traditional village features.
Hindon has an interesting past as a once-thriving market and coaching settlement and gained notoriety as a parliamentary “rotten borough” until the Reform Act of 1832. Today the parish is largely rural in economy, with agriculture and commuting to nearby towns, while a village hall, pubs and occasional community events help sustain a lively local social life within a conservation-minded setting.
