The village lies on the banks of the small river Churn near the north-eastern extremity of Wiltshire. Running
SE to NW through the village is the old A419 road, part of the Roman Ermin Street.
William the Conqueror's Domesay survey of 1086 mentions no mills in Cricklade, although it mentions two at Latton on the river Churn. The tailwaters of these mills were utilised in defensive ditches on either side of the causeway across the marsh (see also: Wiltshire Mills).
The 9 mile long North Wilts Canal linked Swindon to the Thames and Severn Canal at Latton to the north of Cricklade and was opened in 1819. It was incorporated into the Wilts & Berks Canal when a reservoir was built at Coate (Swindon) to supply the summit of the canal.
