The Marlborough / Great Bedwyn area

* The Kennet & Avon Canal runs close by with beautiful walks along the tow path; take a gentle walk to Great Bedwyn where you will find the local Bakery, which sells its own freshly made bread. Take a ten minute walk in the other direction to Crofton Pumping Station, the oldest working Beam Engines in the world. There are many interesting sights to see and things to do along the canal. Caen Hill flight of 29 locks at Devizes is well worth a visit. There are plenty of inns close by the canal along the way where you can refresh yourself.

* Narrow boat trips are available from nearby Hungerford and Pewsey.

* Great Bedwyn is on the Wiltshire Cycleway; there are many cycle routes in the Wiltshire Downs area which links to the Ridge Way Path.
* The area is rich in history, with such sites as Avebury Stone Circle, Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill, St Martin's Chapel at nearby Chisbury , the working Windmill at Wilton (see the Wilton Windmill web site for more information) and the not so ancient Crop Circles which appear on the Marlborough and Pewsey Downs from time to time. In 2010 a crop circle appered next to the Windmill at Wilton, there was also one in a field near Great Bedwyn.

* The village of Great Bedwyn which is an area of outstanding natural beauty has a village shop, post office, baker, garage (no pumps) and two pubs. The pretty village of Wilton with its duck pond and the Swan Inn at its centre is just a 20 to 30 minuet walk along the canal towpath and aournd Wilton Water or over the roman road. The attractive historic town of Marlborough is 7 miles to the west with many shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants.

* Hungerford lies 5 miles to the east with a variety of antique shops to browse in. For a larger selection of shops and amenities there are the towns of Swindon, with its Railway museum and designer outlet shopping centre, the market town of Newbury and the lovely old town of Bath is approximately one hours drive west along the A4.

*There is a main line railway that runs past the cottage and station in Great Bedwyn with direct access to London Paddington in approximately one hour. There is also the occasional steam train passing by on its way to the west country.
Please check location map.

Guestbook for Kestrel Cottage

Excellent Holiday!! KestrelCottage is fantastic and the facilities are spot on. This is a real Home from Home and extremely relaxing. We will remember this holiday for years to come. Thanks so much.

Kestrel Cottage was all we had hoped for! spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. We loved the animals and the rural setting and we are conviced that Great Bedwyn is the friendlist village in the UK.

We had a lovely break, it was lovely coming home to Kestrel Cottage every night, warm and cosy with everything you need supplied Bliss!

Back again! enjoyed our stay so much last time we had to return. Cottage still as comfortable as last time. Loved watching the various wildlife including a little owl each evening also lucky enough to see a barn owl twice too.
