Market Lavington is a large, friendly and thriving village on the northern slopes of Salisbury Plain, about five miles south of Devizes. Market Lavington has always been a lively community, and for centuries was one of Wiltshire's foremost market towns, having been granted a royal charter in 1252 by Henry III.

Although it has all the character and charm of a traditional Wiltshire village, and is set in the midst of beautiful countryside, Market Lavington has always been a working community. Today its facilities include a Co-op supermarket, a chemist, butcher, newsagent, and post office, a hairdressers, two pubs and a number of small businesses, so you can buy almost anything you need in the village. We also have a pre-school, a primary school and a good secondary school , a new, state-of-the-art doctors' surgery, a library, a community hall and our very own Village Museum!
