Holiday Homes in Wiltshire

The Wiltshire countryside is striking, with the immense chalk downlands of Salisbury Plain contrasting with the lush wooded valleys on the southern edge of the Cotswolds. Wherever you stay you should get out and explore; spend a day in Salisbury, Wiltshire’s only city, where the Cathedral is home to the best preserved 1215 Magna Carta in the world, and the tallest spire in the UK.

Have a family day at Longleat, drive through the safari park and hear those famous lions roar. Step back to neolithic times at Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circle, stroll through the glorious gardens at Stourhead, visit the historic abbey at Lacock, used as a filming location for Harry Potter. Take a boat trip along the Kennet & Avon Canal at Bradford-on-Avon, or cycle along the towpath; pootle about the lanes to spot the Wiltshire White Horses carved into the chalk hillsides, round it off with a leisurely pub lunch.
