Ashbury is a delightful village, nestling at the foot of the downs close to White Horse Hill at Uffington and the Ridgeway. It has a public house,the Rose and Crown Hotel; a primary school and a village shop. The Church of England Church of St Mary was originally Norman but rebuilt in the 13th century. The present school was built in the latter part of the 20th century, replacing the previous school building which is now the village hall. Ashbury Mission Hall was a \"tin tabernacle\" building of corrugated iron opened in 1908. Ashdown House, built in about 1660 and now run by the National Trust, is about two miles south of the village. Ashbury is well placed for access to the M4 (c. 7 miles) and for the comprehensive amenities and mainline rail services at Swindon.

Nearby Shrivenham (c. 4 miles) is one of the larger villages in the Vale. It has a number of shops, restaurants and public houses, a primary school, Church of England and Methodist churches and a doctors' surgery.
