St Paul Malmesbury Without sits in the rolling countryside around the small market town of Malmesbury in north Wiltshire, occupying the rural ring of fields, hamlets and scattered farms that surround the historic town. The parish lies on the edge of the Cotswolds landscape with watermeadows and tributaries of the River Avon, a patchwork of hedged pastures, stone cottages and lanes that are popular with walkers and cyclists.
Historically the area is tied to the fortunes of nearby Malmesbury and its impressive Malmesbury Abbey, and rural life and agriculture remain important alongside a growing number of commuters who work in places such as Swindon and Bath. Local life centres on village halls, parish council activity and footpath networks, giving it a quietly historic, community-minded character rather than a busy urban feel.
