West Knoyle is a small village in south‑west Wiltshire, England, set amid rolling chalk downland at the edge of the Cranborne Chase landscape. The surrounding countryside of lanes, hedgerows and pasture gives it a distinctly rural feel, with traditional stone cottages and historic farm buildings punctuating the views.
With medieval origins and a compact, close‑knit community, the village retains a parish church and a number of older houses that hint at its long history. Agriculture remains a key part of the local economy, complemented by a handful of small businesses and commuters, while village life centres on community events, the church and opportunities for walking and exploring the nearby countryside.
