Worton is a small, quiet village in rural Wiltshire, a couple of miles from the market town of Devizes. It forms part of the civil parish of Worton and Marston and sits on the edge of the rolling chalk downland that leads onto Salisbury Plain, making it popular with walkers and anyone who likes open countryside.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Worton retains a villagey feel with lanes, farms and a local primary school that acts as a community hub. The local economy is still influenced by farming, but many residents commute to nearby centres such as Swindon and Bath. The village is also within easy reach of the Kennet and Avon Canal and the wider archaeological landscape of the county, so there’s a mix of everyday rural life and strong local history.
