Local Attractions
Stonehenge
We are superbly located to explore the wonders of Stonehenge which is located just a short drive away from the farm.
A World Heritage Site, Stonehenge and its surrounding prehistoric monuments remain powerful witnesses to the people of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages who created them.
Stonehenge has inspired people to study and interpret it for centuries, yet many questions remain to be answered – about who built it, when, and why. Find out about its archaeology and history here.
Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta
The iconic spire is visible from the campsite and is a pleasant walk away.
Set in its own remarkable close, Salisbury Cathedral is a truly remarkable building, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of the medieval craftsmen who built it, but it is much more than a historical monument, it is a living church.
You can also discover how one of only four surviving original 1215 Magna Carta came to the Cathedral and view it in a special exhibition explaining its origins and continuing relevance to our lives today.
Combine a trip with pleasant wander around the medieval city centre and the water meadows made famous by John Constable.
Old Sarum
Climb the mighty ramparts for views over the Wiltshire plains and imagine the once thriving town of Old Sarum.
Stand in the footprint of Salisbury's original cathedral, conquer the royal castle which stood high on the motte, and discover the awe-inspiring Iron Age hill fort where it all began.
Unearth over 2,000 years of history and find out how the Romans, Normans and Saxons have all left their mark on this impressive landscape.
Wilton House
Wilton House can easily be reached by bike or a five minute drive from us. Home to the Earls of Pembroke and built in idyllic landscaped parkland, with water and rose gardens beside the River Nadder and the Palladian Bridge.
The house contains family portraits by Van Dyck, which are the greatest collection of paintings by the artist still to be seen in its original setting.
The grounds are perfect for picnics, enjoy watching the river pass under the Palladian Bridge, see the Millennium water feature, the Japanese Water Garden and the rose displays.
Longleat
Longleat is a convenient half hour draive away.
It is nestled within 900 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped grounds and is home to the UK’s original and most famous Safari Parks
One of the best examples of Elizabethan architecture and an abundance of exciting attractions including Jungle Kingdom and Animal Adventure where you can get up-close and personal with truly amazing animals.
Stourhead
The centre piece of the garden at Stourhead is the lake, which dictates the path you take and the views you enjoy. The damming of the river and the creation of the lake was an ambitious undertaking. Henry ‘the Magnificent’ and his architect Henry Flitcroft planned it before work began on the garden buildings such as the Temple of Flora, Pantheon and Grotto.
The original planting of the garden was undertaken by a team of 50 gardeners, who planted and tended beech, oak, sycamore, Spanish chestnut, ash and holm oak.
The Isle of Purbeck
The Isle of Purbeck is an enchanting, breathtaking region which encapsulates the south-eastern corner of Dorset, and takes in the easterly section of the Jurassic Coast.
Purbeck is incredibly geologically diverse, which has given rise to some of the Jurassic Coast’s most spectacular beaches and scenery, including Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. The area’s two main towns are Wareham to the north and Swanage to the south east, which make fantastic starting points from which to explore the region’s many hidden gems.
