Ford is a small village in the north-west of Wiltshire, England. The village is on the A420 road, 4 miles west of Chippenham and 11 miles east of Bristol.
Ford is the second largest village in the civil parish of North Wraxall,[1] a collection of five settlements which includes Upper Wraxall, North Wraxall, The Shoe (also on the A420) and Mountain Bower. There is a pub called the White Hart, but no other shops.
