West Grimstead is a small village in Wiltshire, part of the civil parish of Grimstead, set on the banks of the River Dun about six miles south‑east of Salisbury. It sits in a gently rolling landscape of farmland and chalk downland typical of the county, with riverside paths and quiet lanes that make it popular for countryside walks and birdwatching.
Historically an agricultural settlement with medieval roots, the village retains a handful of traditional cottages and farmhouses and a modest village community centred on the church and hall. The local economy remains largely rural, though many people commute to nearby towns; the mix of rural heritage, working farmland and easy access to Salisbury gives it the character of a classic Wiltshire village.
