Minety is a small village and civil parish in north Wiltshire, sitting close to the county boundary with Gloucestershire in a gently rolling, rural landscape. The parish includes several former gravel workings that have become lakes and wetlands now associated with the Cotswold Water Park, giving the area notable wildlife interest and opportunities for quiet waterside recreation amid farmland and hedgerows.
Historically the community grew around agriculture and its parish church, and today it combines a strong local village life - with a primary school and community activities - with residents who commute to nearby towns. Its setting close to Kemble airfield and within reach of larger centres such as Swindon and Cirencester means it mixes traditional rural character with practical connections to the wider region.
