Minety is a small village and civil parish in north Wiltshire, England, lying close to the border with Gloucestershire. It sits on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park, a landscape of lakes created by former gravel workings that now attracts water sports and birdwatching, while the surrounding countryside remains largely agricultural with rolling fields and hedgerows.
The village has a compact historic core with a parish church of medieval origin and several listed buildings that reflect its long rural history. Local life mixes farming and small enterprises with commuters travelling to nearby centres such as Swindon and Cirencester, and the lakes and wildlife draw visitors, supporting a modest leisure and tourism economy alongside active community clubs and a village hall.
