After some further Googling, I found the answer is to use the whichwrap option.
I added the following line to my .vimrc:
set whichwrap+=<,>,[,]
The < and > options turn on the desired setting for normal mode and [ and ] turn on the desired setting for insert mode.

Add this to your .vimrc:
set whichwrap+=<,>,h,l,[,]

This is default behavior - you can always use Home and End to jump to the start and finish of a line however.

You can work around this by using w and b which will wrap across lines.
