About Silton

Silton lies on the Dorset-Wiltshire border where rolling chalk downs meet pastoral valleys. Most reach it via the A303, turning south through country lanes that connect Milton on Stour with villages like Zeals and Bourton. The area serves commuters heading to Shaftesbury and Gillingham, whilst longer routes use the A303 corridor between the West Country and London. With over 40 fast chargers nearby, it's well-placed for electric vehicle touring. St Nicholas church houses a remarkable 13th-century Green Man carving in the chancel arch.
