Dilton Marsh – A Thriving Village in the Heart of West Wiltshire
You might have heard about this place in the song 'The Dilton Marsh Experience', written by Ben Turner and Richard Chambers, or in the poem 'The Dilton Marsh Halt' written by John Betjemen. Despite being located near the local major towns of Frome, Trowbridge, Warminister, and Westbury, Dilton Marsh has kept its 'villagey' feel. It is home to about 2000 residents and has its own church, pub, fish & chip shop, post office, pre-school and primary school, convenience store, and hairdressers. It is a self-sufficient community that is bustling with activities all throughout the year, not to mention a picturesque countryside and convenient location to see the sights around Wiltshire.
