Minety is a village located in North Wiltshire, between Malmesbury and Swindon. Minety takes its name from the water mint plant found growing in ditches around the village, and has previously been known as Myntey.
It is famous for the national outcry about travellers building on their privately purchased land. Minety also has a charming Elizabethan manor house in its centre.
