Wylye is a small, linear village and parish in Wiltshire, England, set in the chalk valley of the River Wylye. It sits amid classic downland countryside close to the broad, open sweeps of the Salisbury Plain, giving a strong sense of rural space and easy access to country walks along the river and through nearby farmland.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, with watermeadows and a chalk‑stream ecology that supports trout fishing and conservation interest. The village retains traditional limestone cottages and an historic parish church, and the surrounding landscape is rich in archaeology and rural heritage, making it popular with walkers, naturalists and those after a quiet village atmosphere.
