Charlton Wiltshire Map

About Charlton

Charlton rests in a landscape where chalk downs meet the softer greens of the agricultural South West. It lies 4.3 km east-south-east of Shaftesbury (from Shaftesbury: bearing 108°T, OS grid ST 905 216), and is situated south-south-east of Ludwell village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth after rain, a fragrance familiar to those who tend the surrounding fields. Charlton's modest churchyard, with its ancient headstones leaning at quiet angles, speaks of generations who have lived and worked this land, their lives as much a part of the soil as the crops that grow there. The subtle curve of the land, a gentle invitation rather than a commanding presence, shapes the modest dwellings and the quiet thoroughfares of Charlton.
