Southwick is a small rural parish in west Wiltshire, a few miles from Trowbridge and within easy reach of Bath and the open downland of Salisbury Plain. The landscape is typical of the area - rolling farmland and limestone countryside - and the village sits beside a modest country park and lakes that are popular for walks and birdwatching.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and a compact village core centred on the parish church and a historic manor, while economically it has shifted from purely agricultural activity to a mix of local services and commuters working in nearby towns; the community still retains a village hall, pub and a programme of local events that keep a strong village identity.
