About

Lyneham ward encompasses the village of Lyneham and surrounding rural areas in north Wiltshire. The settlement is primarily residential, with a significant portion of the local community historically linked to the former Royal Air Force base. The surrounding landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and small woodland patches, typical of the county's countryside.

The area's identity is strongly shaped by the now-closed RAF Lyneham, which was a major transport hub for many decades. Its legacy continues through related housing and facilities. The village centre provides essential local services, and the ward is traversed by the main A3102 road, connecting it to nearby towns like Chippenham and Calne.
