About

Highworth is situated on a hilltop in northeast Wiltshire, overlooking the Thames Valley. The town's elevated position has historically made it a significant settlement. Its centre retains a traditional market town layout, focused around the Market Square and the 15th-century St Michael's Church. The surrounding area consists primarily of residential neighbourhoods and local commercial streets, with views extending across the surrounding countryside from its higher points.

The local economy is supported by a mix of independent shops and services catering to the town and nearby villages. The area is characterised by older stone buildings in the core, with more modern housing developments on its fringes. A notable feature is the preserved section of the town's medieval defensive bank and ditch, known as The Banks, which encircles part of the historic centre.
