Life in Woodborough is quiet and tied to the land. The village has a social club rather than a pub, with the nearest pub in Bottlesford, and Woodborough Church of England Primary School, which began as a National School in 1873. Woodborough Yard on the eastern edge gives the village its everyday focus, with the garden centre, independent shops and cafés, all with free parking. Families look to Pewsey for a wider choice of shops and to Devizes as the nearest larger market town.
The parish appears in Domesday Book, and the church of St Mary Magdalene is first mentioned in 1258, although the present building dates entirely from the 19th century. Housing is mostly period: several 17th century thatched cottages, a group of 18th century cottages south of Church Lane, large farmhouses and the early 18th century Manor House, with some 20th century homes. Bulb growing made the village's name. Walter T. Ware began trading as a nurseryman on the Woodborough Yard site in 1883 and became known for tulips and daffodils, coach trips came to walk the tulip fields as recently as the 1960s, and each spring people still come to pick their own daffodils.
The Kennet and Avon Canal, completed in 1810, crosses the parish, and for a short stretch the parish boundary follows the ancient Ridgeway. There are no main roads in the parish: minor roads lead north to Alton Barnes and east to Pewsey. Woodborough had its own station until 1966, and Pewsey is now the nearest, with Great Western Railway trains to London Paddington.
