Campsite near Salisbury, Longleat, Stonehenge

Exciting local places to explore

Our farm is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, with its rolling hills and ancient woodland.  You may just want to sit back and relax in the campsite, but if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, there are plenty of local places to explore.

I guess first of all I should list Sailsbury’s most famous landmarks SALISBURY CATHEDRAL and STONEHENGE.  Both are steeped in history.

If old castles and forts are your thing, well we have two!  You should check out OLD SARUM and WARDOUR CASTLE.  My little boy loves both of these, as you can run around and climb on the ruins.

A big family attraction is LONGLEAT.  I say family attraction, but is a real treat for all ages.  We go there for birthdays or special days out and never get bored of it.

One of my favourite places is LANGFORD LAKES NATURE RESERVE. It is an ideal place for bird watching with 4 lakes and 5 hides and most importantly a lovely café! It is also great for children with things to climb on and explore and a shallow stream to paddle in.  It is only 7 mins drive from the farm, so I often take my little boy there if we want to escape for a bit, and he always loves it there.

If you like walking and cycling then there is plenty here for you, with famous GROVELY WOOD and The National Trusts DINTON PARK right on our door step.
