Wroughton can be found towards the South West in the county of Wiltshire.  It nestles beneath the Marlborough Downs to the north of the Ridgeway National Trail and mainly to the South of the M4 motorway between junctions 15 and 16.
The parish of Wroughton is one of the biggest in the British Isles and enjoys a wide diversity of both countryside and local activities. The village, with a population of over 7000, has a good variety of shops and there are a number of public houses.
Most of these serve real ale and a good range of food from bar snacks to full meals, and some also offer bed and breakfast.
The local schools provide education for all up to the age of 18 and some further education courses are also available. The village hosts reasonable leisure facilities and there are a large number of Wroughton-based societies. The old part of the village contains some 17th Century thatched cottages that wouldn't look amiss on a jigsaw puzzle. The stream running through the village supported seven mills along its route in former times.  All interests can be catered for; there is a good network of rights of way on our doorstep for walkers, horse riders and cyclists, giving you a gateway to the countryside. The Cotswolds are only a stone's throw away for drivers. Along with Stonehenge, Avebury and the numerous white horses carved into the chalk hillsides of Wiltshire. These are well worth a visit amongst many other interesting and historic landmarks.
