Upper Minety is a small, rural village in the civil parish of Minety in north Wiltshire, England, lying close to the county boundary with Gloucestershire and on the edge of the Cotswolds. It sits amid farmland, hedgerows and country lanes, so the landscape is typical of the area and attractive to walkers and those seeking a quiet village setting.
Historically the village shares the long, largely agricultural story of the locality and you’ll find traditional stone cottages and a parish church alongside more modern homes; local life now mixes farming with residents who commute to larger towns. Community activity tends to centre on the village hall, church and occasional local events, giving Upper Minety a close‑knit, village feel.
