Upton Lovell is a village and civil parish in the West Wiltshire district of Wiltshire, England. It is situated on the A36, near Warminster, and by the River Wylye.
The village's pub is called the Prince Leopold[1], in memory of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, the youngest son of Queen Victoria, who lived at Boyton Manor in the neighbouring village of Boyton. He died of haemophilia in 1884.
