In the extreme west of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on, or rather just to the north of the A4 London to Bath coaching road is Cherhill. It is a village of mainly moden buildings with a smatterig of thatched cottages spread around.

The parish church of St James has 12th-century origins. Most of the building, including the tower, is from the 15th century. A west gallery in Gothic style was added in 1840, and it was restored in 1863. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

To the south-east of the village on Cherhill Down is Cherhill white horse, one of the famous Wiltshire white horses, which dates back to the late 18th century and is the third oldest of its kind in the country. Above the white horse is the Bronze Age hillfort Oldbury Hillfort and also the Lansdowne Monument, or Cherhill Monument, a 125-foot stone obelisk erected in 1845 by the Third Marquis of Lansdowne in honour of his ancestor Sir William Petty.

Cherhill is about 2.5 miles east of Calne on the A4.
