The Wheatsheaf, in an early nineteenth century thatched house, is the village pub, and the village hall, built in 1895, hosts local clubs and events. Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School, which traces its roots to a National School of 1835 and has been at Stag Hill since 1970, sits at the heart of village life alongside St Mary's church. Much of the Kennet floodplain in the parish is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to the rare Desmoulin's whorl snail, and Chilton Foliat Meadows, a watermeadow to the south-west, is protected for its plants and birds. Footpaths follow the river and climb onto the downs, making this a good base for walkers.
The village has plenty of history for its size. St Mary's church dates from around 1300 and is Grade II* listed. In 1942 American paratroopers trained on the local estate before deploying to North Africa, and the village is mentioned in the television series Band of Brothers. Notable buildings include Vine Cottage from the late seventeenth century, the mid eighteenth century Old Rectory and Bridge House, dated 1766, while Chilton Lodge and Littlecote House stand in parkland nearby. With around 360 residents, homes rarely come up, and most are period cottages and village houses.
Hungerford's high street is a few minutes away for shops, cafés and services, and Marlborough is a short drive west. Hungerford station is the nearest, with Great Western Railway local services towards Newbury and Reading for connections to London Paddington, plus a small number of direct weekday peak trains. The B4192 runs through the village towards Swindon, and the A4 and the M4 are close by.
