About

The Great Wishford, Woodford Valley and Porton area sits along the River Wylye in south Wiltshire, where chalk downland falls to the valley floor. The Wylye is a chalk stream with springs and gravel beds that support brown trout and watercress patches. Fields, hedgerows and strips of woodland follow the river; burial mounds and earthworks sit on the surrounding downs, while footpaths cross the valley between farmsteads and riverside meadows.
Great Wishford village occupies a cluster beside the river, with a village hall, church and lanes that lead to riverside meadows and rights of way onto the downs. Woodford Valley describes the stretch of the Wylye between those settlements, with grazing and arable fields sloping up to chalk ridges. East of the village, Porton is noted for its government research establishment at Porton Down, whose compounds and testing ground sit within a perimeter fence; industrial and light-commercial units lie alongside farmland, and local lanes connect the three places.
