Rushall wins Wiltshire's Best Kept Small Village 2026
Rushall is celebrating once again after being named Wiltshire’s Best Kept Small Village for 2026, continuing the village’s impressive record in the annual competition. The 2026 competition coincided with CPRE’s centenary year, marking 100 years since the organisation was founded to champion the countryside and rural communities.
The award recognises the hard work and commitment of the people of Rushall in keeping their village looking attractive, welcoming and well cared for. From its beautifully maintained public spaces to the pride residents take in their surroundings, the village continues to set a high standard for communities across Wiltshire.
Winning the award is a fantastic achievement, but retaining the title is an even greater testament to the dedication of local residents and volunteers. It demonstrates that keeping a village looking its best is something that requires enthusiasm and community spirit throughout the year.
The success of Rushall also highlights what can be achieved when residents work together and take pride in where they live, this achievement is something the whole community can be proud of.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making Rushall such a special place to live and visit. Best Kept Small Village 2026 is another well-deserved accolade for a community that clearly knows the value of looking after its village.
Rushall Welcomes You!

The village of Rushall lies beside the River Avon in the beautiful Pewsey Vale within the county of Wiltshire.
Despite the rigours of modern life, the parish has retained a thriving community. This is easily demonstrated by the modern Village Hall, which it shares with the neighbouring community in Charlton St Peter. A highly regarded Church of England Primary School and a rather uniquely situated Church are also features of the village. The local land is organically farmed and there are a number of traditional thatched cottages still standing within the village.

We hope you enjoy your visit!
