The Local Area
Lacock
We are a short walk from the beautiful National Trust Village of Lacock. A quintessential village where little has changed in 200 years, with streets lined with timber-framed houses and independent shops, not to mention the array of pubs within the village.
You can also explore the National Trust property of Lacock Abbey. The Abbey is a quirky country house, developed over the centuries around a former 13th-century nunnery, and is the birthplace of modern photography. It is set in spacious wooded grounds, with plenty of space to picnic, and is recognisable from films varying from Pride and Prejudice to Harry Potter.
Local Pubs
We are blessed with a number of village pubs, all within a walking distance of the caravan park. There are three pubs within Lacock, The Red Lion, The George and The Sign of the Angel.
A slightly longer walk will get you to two more pubs; The Bell and The Rising Sun.
Local Towns & Villages
There are many picturesque towns to explore during your visit to Wiltshire. Scattered throughout our timeless countryside, Wiltshire’s market towns feature historic buildings built from local stone, independent shops, cosy tea shops, and welcoming pubs. Many of these Wiltshire towns also still host regular markets where you can buy clothes, gifts and fresh produce.
Bradford-On-Avon
Built in a gentle valley on the edge of the Cotswolds, Bradford on Avon is a picture-perfect chocolate box town. Here you will find cottages made from local Bath stone, narrow historic streets and a plethora of independent retailers and small shops. The River Avon and the Kennet and Avon Canal both run through the town, which is surrounded by glorious green countryside, making this a lovely place to stay if you enjoy walking or cycling.
Devizes
Home to Wiltshire Museum and Wadworth Brewery, Devizes is a historic market town in the centre of Wiltshire. With more than 500 listed buildings all oozing historic charm, and a spacious marketplace in the centre of town, there's lots to see here. There's a weekly market, many places to eat and drink, and some great independent shops. A short walk from the town along the canal is Caen Hill Locks, an impressive staircase of 29 locks which carries the Kennet and Avon Canal up and over a steep hillside.
Castle Combe
Castle Combe has been called 'The Prettiest Village in England' and with good reason; visitors have been coming to enjoy its charms for at least a century. The small street leading from the Market Cross down to the By Brook is as picturesque today as it ever was.
Bath
Just thirteen miles away is the elegant City of Bath. Built for pleasure and relaxation, the beautiful Bath has been a well-being destination since Roman times. The waters are still a big draw, both at the ancient Roman Baths and the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in.
Corsham
In Corsham you’ll find independent shops and restaurants; peacocks roaming freely from their home at Corsham Court and Poldark – the BBC’s hit drama was filmed in the in the town.
