The parish is in the Vale of Pewsey which carries the upper section of the Salisbury Avon. Pewsey is about to the northeast; the nearest towns are Marlborough, northeast, and Devizes, to the west. The parish is long and narrow in shape, stretching from the Salisbury Avon valley in the northwest to higher downland towards Upavon, on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain. The A345 Pewsey–Upavon road passes to the south of the three villages.
