Ramsbury is a compact village in Wiltshire, England, set in the shallow valley of the River Kennet on the northern fringe of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has clear chalk downland character and lies a few miles east of Marlborough and within easy reach of Avebury. The settlement has long roots - Saxon origins and a medieval ecclesiastical presence - and is overlooked by the historic house and parkland of Ramsbury Manor, which help to define the local landscape and heritage interest.
Today Ramsbury retains a lively village feel with a primary school, village hall and local pubs, and an economy still shaped by mixed farming alongside small enterprises and tourism. The riverside towpaths and surrounding downland make it popular with walkers, riders and day visitors, while a strong community calendar and a handful of artisan businesses - notably a local brewery and craft producers - give the place a busy, convivial rural character.
