The Lavingtons is a predominantly rural ward in Wiltshire centred on the villages of Market Lavington, West Lavington and Easterton, lying north of Devizes on chalk downland at the eastern edge of Salisbury Plain. It combines small village centres, farmland and scattered hamlets with straightforward road links to nearby market towns.
The area has a long agricultural pedigree and a village character - historic parish churches, period cottages and conservation areas are common - and retains elements of Market Lavington's market‑town history. Farming still shapes the landscape, but many residents commute to larger centres, and the downs, footpaths and local community events make it a popular spot for walkers and people seeking a quieter country life.
