Poulshot is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, set on chalk downland a few miles south‑west of Devizes. The surrounding landscape of rolling downs, pasture and small watercourses that feed the local stretch of the River Avon gives the area a distinctly rural character, and the village lies within easy reach of the Kennet and Avon Canal and the fringes of Salisbury Plain, popular with walkers and naturalists.
Historically an agricultural community with a long‑standing parish church and scattered farmsteads, Poulshot still feels like a close‑knit village where local events and conservation of chalk grassland and hedgerows matter to residents. The local economy remains linked to farming, small businesses and commuting to nearby towns, while quiet lanes and older buildings preserve a sense of the village’s past.
