The Government are encouraging all Parish Councils to migrate their websites to .gov.uk domains and so our website will shortly be moving too.
We’ve taken the opportunity to refresh the design of our website and are busy populating the contents to bring it up to date. We hope to have the new website fully functional by the end of March and are running both websites alongside each other whilst the transition is made.
You can use the link below to access the new website; why not bookmark it now so that it’s already in place for when we cease using this one?
The new Edington Village Website can be found at: https://edingtonwiltsparishcouncil.gov.uk

Village Noticeboard
Welcome to the Edington village website. We aim to provide both residents and visitors to the village all the information they may require.
Edington is situated on the northern escarpment of Salisbury Plain. It is an historically renowned village mentioned in the Domesday book and famous for being the location of the Battle of Edington between King Alfred and the Danes in 878 AD.
The village contains a superb 14th Century Priory Church and the refurbished and renovated “Three Daggers” Public House as well as a number of picturesque houses. It is surrounded by very attractive countryside which offers an excellent variety of footpaths, many of which offer spectacular views from Salisbury Plain.
Edington was the joint winner of the “Village of the Year” competition in 1999. The judges were particularly impressed with the community spirit as evidenced by the wide range of events and activities. Many of these have continued to the present day; these include the well-known annual Edington Music Festival, a Jazz Festival, a Summer Ball, a Village Fair, and a Flower and Produce Show.
