… of Cotswolds life (Woof! Neigh! Yah!).
In whichever direction of the compass you head, leave the main roads
behind you and you’ll quickly find yourself in idyllic Wiltshire
countryside.
Wiltshire, especially the area near Beechfield House, is peppered with
farms, local pubs and pretty former wool towns and villages such as
famous Lacock. Both Chippenham and Bradford-on-Avon are also well worth
a visit.
For some stunning scenery, you could make your way to the pretty hamlet
of Avoncliff by road, rail or riverboat, along the steep sided, heavily
forested valley where the River Avon, the Kennet & Avon Canal, and
the Bath to Westbury railway line interweave their respective ways.
There’s a good pub there, too!
Nearby Longleat Safari Park is a magnet for families, motor enthusiasts
can enjoy some fun at nearby Castle Combe motor racing circuit as well
as the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum, and ‘boatees’ can get afloat on the
nearby Kennet and Avon canal. As you might expect, there are some
stunning National Trust properties in Wiltshire that are well worth a
visit and Beechfield House is very conveniently located for many of the
independent private schools in Wiltshire.
For some breathtaking subterranean drama, Cheddar Caves and Wookey Hole are within easy reach. Salisbury Plain and Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site, are only about
30 minutes away and only 40 minutes drive to the south will carry you
into the heart of the Mendips, to Wells and its magnificent cathedral
and beyond, towards the mythical landscape of Avalon and Glastonbury,
dominated by Glastonbury Tor.
Alternatively, hop along the A4 for half an hour and you’ll find
yourself in Bristol, one of the nation’s great cities and host to a
sophisticated plethora of attractions and entertainments.
We’re always delighted to help you plan a sightseeing itinerary and can
provide a delicious picnic, given a day’s notice, if possible.
