When the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086, the manor of Cannings was held by the Bishop of Salisbury. The Grade I listed Church of St Mary the Virgin has a large central tower carrying a 15th-century spire. Homes range from period cottages and farmhouses to later family houses, and the outlying hamlets and canalside lanes add further choice. North of the village the land climbs onto open chalk downs, where the Wansdyke earthwork runs west from Tan Hill towards Morgan's Hill and ancient barrows such as Kitchen Barrow and Horton Down Long Barrow mark the landscape.
The Kennet and Avon Canal, opened in 1810, passes between the village and Horton, and its towpath gives level walks and cycle rides towards Devizes. There is no station in the village: Pewsey is the closest stop for direct Great Western Railway trains to London Paddington, with the quickest taking around an hour, and Chippenham and Swindon give access to the main line.
