Gomeldon is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. Situated approximately 6 miles east of the city of Salisbury, Gomeldon is a rural community with a population of around 400 residents. The village is nestled in the picturesque countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and farmland.

Historically, Gomeldon dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Gumelindone." The village has maintained its rural charm and traditional character throughout the years. It is primarily a residential area, with a scattering of farmhouses and cottages dotting the landscape.

Gomeldon is well-connected to neighboring towns and cities through a network of roads. The A338 road runs to the west of the village, providing easy access to Salisbury and the wider Wiltshire area. The village also benefits from a regular bus service, ensuring good transport links for its residents.

A focal point of the village is the St. Andrew's Church, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 13th century. The church, with its distinctive architecture and stained glass windows, serves as a place of worship and a testament to the village's rich heritage.

Although Gomeldon is a small village, it offers a close-knit community atmosphere and a peaceful way of life. Residents can enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still being within reach of the amenities and services provided in nearby towns.
