The best of both worlds: Not only can you enjoy rural Wiltshire (idyllic countryside, thatched cottages, local produce, country pubs, walks, wildlife, cycle rides, golf, tea gardens - all in close proximity), you can also enjoy easy access to fantastic days out (Bath, StoneHenge, Stourhead, Longleat, Marborough, Bradford upon Avon, Lacock, Melksham, Salisbury to name just a few - all c25mins by car). Google any of the above areas to instantly see how captivating they are. Stonehenge for its incredible history, Stourhead for its beauty, Longleat for fantastic family fun, Bradford for beautiful canal walks, Lacock for Harry Potter gorgeousness! Salisbury for its cathedral, Bath for its architecture and shopping. So much to enjoy. 6 miles from the cottage is Devizes - a lovely historic market town with cafes, restaurants, a weekly market, leisure centre, theatre, weekly live music (at the bear), Kid's play area and the Kennet&Avon canal.
