About

The Malmesbury, Crudwell & Oaksey area is defined by its position within the upper reaches of the Thames Valley. The historic market town of Malmesbury, founded around its abbey, sits on a hill above the River Avon. The surrounding villages, including Crudwell and Oaksey, are set within a landscape of mixed farmland, gentle streams, and patches of woodland. This is primarily an agricultural region with a network of quiet country lanes connecting its settlements.

A notable feature is the presence of the Wilts & Berks Canal, remnants of which trace through the parishes, offering linear walks. The area's character is rooted in its stone-built architecture, from Malmesbury's medieval abbey to the cottages and farmsteads in the villages. Local life centres on community events, village pubs, and the working farms that shape the surrounding fields and hedgerows throughout the seasons.
