South Newton

South Newton is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England.

Topologically it lies between chalk downs to the north-east, and downland with Grovely Wood to the south-west.

There has been a settlement in the village since Saxon times and South Newton is largely a 10th-century estate which stretched from the River Wylye to the ridge of the hills to the north-east.

[3] The ancient parish had a detached part at North Ugford, on the other side of the Wylye and bounded to the south by the Nadder.

The three-storey building in red brick accommodated 280, in a cruciform plan similar to workhouses designed by Sampson Kempthorne.

The station was closed in 1955 but the railway remains open as part of the Wessex Main Line.
