Ansty village with a population of around 112 (2021 estimate), is a small settlement of some 56 households and a civil parish in South Wiltshire. The village is just north of the A30 road between Shaftesbury, and Salisbury. The parish includes the tiny hamlet of Ansty Coombe.
The parish is surrounded by attractive countryside including chalk downland, greensand terraces and rolling landscapes forming a backdrop to deep set valleys or coombes. No wonder then, that the whole area forms part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Ansty was designated a conservation area in 1975 and in the 1990s the village was further designated as a ‘Special Restraint Area’ which meant great care had to be taken to avoid any planning proposals that might cause a detraction from the established outstanding character and quality of this rural village.
