Nunton is a small village and former civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-east of Salisbury, which has been part of Odstock parish since 1934.
The former parish included the small village of Bodenham, 0.6 miles (0.97 km) to the east.
Getting to Nunton

Daily flights from Glasgow take one hour, operated by Loganair.
Worth seeing
Grimsay is the low-lying island to the north, nowadays a stepping-stone for the road to North Uist. Until the bridge was built in 1960, you either got here by ferry at high tide or sploshed across the North Ford channel at low tide, but not in between. The quiet loop of lane around it is a pleasant cycle ride. This lane connects to the smaller Fraoch Eilean (Heather Island) just north.
