...around the lanes of Wiltshire to white water rafting in the Brecon Beacons! Here's where you can download a Visit Wiltshire map.
The Caen Hill Locks system (pictured above) on the Kennet and Avon Canal comprises 29 locks and is the longest in Britain. It's amazing watching the boats pass through. Talking of boats, why not hire a canoe or kayak and take to the River Avon?
For the golfers amongst you, we are surrounding by some splendid courses, the finest being the golf course at nearby Bowood House, a championship course, and Cumberwell Golf Course.
The Chippenham Folk Festival is always great fun as is the Salisbury Festival, the Salisbury International Arts Festival and the Salisbury Food and Drink Festival. Then there’s the Marlborough Jazz Weekend, Opera at Lacock Abbey and the famous Iford Opera. Nearby Bath has the Theatre Royal and a wonderful wealth of festivals throughout the year.
There are the ever popular Wincanton Races at nearby Wincanton. Then there are the Badminton Horse Trials not far away. If you’re seeking noisier thrills, then you might like to spend a day at Castle Combe Motor Racing Circuit driving a racing car round this famous race track. For something completely different, you might be interested in drawing your own conclusions about crop circles.
Talking of driving, you could also drive a classic vintage sports car through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside or up into the Cotswolds. Indulge yourselves from a choice of Jaguars, MGs, Austin Healeys or Alfa Romeos. Turn back the clock and take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to an era when cars really had to be driven.
For the seriously energetic, there's an olympic standard Gymnastics Training Centre in nearby Melksham.
We accommodate both extremes of guest - so whatever you want to do, within reason and the law, just get on with it, and ask us if you need any help.
For the truly energetic (and mad) remember you’re only an hour from the Brecon Beacons across the River Severn, where you’ll find many ways of maiming yourself and your loved ones by interacting with mountains, quicksands, rapids, etc. Picnic lunches and maps can be provided, but not First Aid!
