Poulshot is a small village and civil parish in central Wiltshire, England, lying a few miles south of Devizes in the gentle lowlands of the Vale of Pewsey. It feels tucked away from main roads, with narrow lanes, hedgerows and views across farmland that give a distinctly rural Wiltshire character.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the settlement has a compact cluster of historic cottages and a long-established parish church, and community life centres on village events and the hall rather than shops or industry. Today many residents combine farming or local work with commuting to nearby towns, and the area is popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter, traditional English village atmosphere.
