Wootton Rivers is a small village and civil parish in the Kennet valley of Wiltshire, England, set among rolling chalk downland and close to the meandering River Kennet. It sits in the landscape between Pewsey and Marlborough in the wider Vale of Pewsey, giving it a quiet, rural character and attractive stretches of riverside and farmland nearby.
The settlement has long agricultural roots and a handful of historic, often listed, buildings including a medieval church, while village life is modest and community-minded with occasional events centred on the church and village hall. Economically it remains largely rural with farming still important, supplemented by residents who commute to larger towns; conservation of the landscape and traditional cottages helps define its local identity.
