The village of Berwick St John is located on the Wiltshire/Dorset border in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ (AONB). There are 38 AONBs in England and Wales, whose precious landscape and natural beauty are considered worth protecting to safeguard such jewels for the nation.

​

The landscape surrounding Berwick St John is particularly diverse, providing glorious areas of rolling chalk grassland, down land hillsides, ancient woodlands, chalk escarpments, chalk river valleys, and the remains of a Bronze Age fort overlooking the village.​
