Beautiful walks on top of the downs and along the Kennet and Avon canal. Very good for cycling and on a national cycle route and the King Alfred Way. Lots of small villages, very quiet and tranquil. Nearest shops are a few miles distant. Two good local pubs.
Situated halfway between the prehistoric sites of Avebury and Stonehenge.
