Sherston in Wiltshire is a picturesque village and civil parish in the north‑west of the county, sitting close to the Cotswolds and the border with Gloucestershire. It’s set among rolling limestone downs and has a compact centre of honey‑coloured stone cottages, some thatched roofs and a medieval parish church, giving the place a distinctly historic, market‑village character.
Today Sherston combines traditional agriculture with small local businesses, a primary school, village shops and pubs, and an active community calendar of fetes and shows. Good road links and nearby towns such as Malmesbury and Chippenham mean many residents commute, while the attractive rural setting draws walkers and those looking for a quiet base close to historic market towns.
