Purton is a large village and civil parish in north Wiltshire, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Swindon and incorporating the smaller settlement of Purton Stoke. It has medieval roots and a compact village centre of listed houses and a parish church with historic fabric, set against the rolling farmland and woodlands on the edge of Braydon Forest.
Traditionally an agricultural community, Purton now combines farming with a substantial commuter population working in nearby towns; it still retains village pubs, a primary school and a range of active clubs and annual events. Its rural setting makes it popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the lanes and the fringe of the Cotswolds in north Wiltshire.
