Manningford is a small, rural civil parish in Wiltshire, England, made up of the tiny settlements of Manningford Abbots, Manningford Bruce and Manningford Bohune. Set in the Vale of Pewsey, it has clear medieval roots - its place‑names reflect historic landowners - and retains a landscape of hedged fields, farms and a scattering of listed cottages and historic farm buildings.
The parish sits alongside the corridor of the Kennet and Avon Canal and nearby river valleys, so there are popular walking routes and a sense of quiet countryside life; the local economy is largely agricultural with a modest number of commuters and small enterprises. Community life is typical of small Wiltshire villages, centred on local events, historic buildings and a strong conservation interest in maintaining the character of the area.
