Neston is a small, quietly attractive village in north Wiltshire, England, set in rolling chalk downland typical of the area. It sits a short drive from Corsham and within easy reach of Bath and the western fringes of the Cotswolds, with good road links to the M4, so it combines a rural feel with practical access to larger towns and cities.

The village has historic roots centred on a modest manor and surrounding parkland - the nearby Neston Park estate gives a sense of the area's agricultural and landed past - and today the local economy is a mix of farming and people who commute out to work. Socially it’s the sort of place with a close-knit community, footpaths, country pursuits and occasional village events, while residents also benefit from the cultural attractions and services of nearby Corsham and Bath.
