Urchfont is a small, picturesque village and parish set in rolling chalk downland in Wiltshire, England, a short distance from the market town of Devizes and within easy reach of the expanses of Salisbury Plain. The settlement is notable for its mix of historic buildings - including the listed Urchfont Manor and the medieval church of St Michael and All Angels - tucked among hedgerows, lanes and farmland that reflect the long rural history of the area.
Today the community combines traditional agricultural roots with a quiet commuter and village lifestyle; local life centres on village amenities, the church and various community groups, with conservation of thatched cottages and historic features important to residents. The landscape and built heritage make it a popular spot for walkers and those seeking rural charm close to larger centres of the county.
