Minety is an electoral ward in north Wiltshire, centred on the village of the same name and encompassing a dispersed rural area of farmland, hedgerows, streams and small woodland. Its built environment includes traditional stone cottages and a parish church with medieval origins, and the ward retains a village-focused social life around its hall and local amenities.
The ward lies close to the county border with Gloucestershire and is within easy reach of market towns such as Malmesbury and Cirencester. Nearby Cotswold Airport (the former RAF Kemble) provides an unusual aviation and light-industrial presence that complements agriculture, small businesses and a modest level of rural tourism in the area.
