The Central Southern England / Wiltshire region
Wiltshire is a county just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to make you feel miles from it, surrounded by rolling countryside and sleepy distant communities.
The county is home to some of the most beautiful villages in England. It is also a mysterious place of prehistoric stone sites, strange crop circles and magnificent chalk horses.
For the active there are endless options, from walking ancient ridgeways and river meadows to biking the canal towpaths. The less energetic can choose to cruise the Kennet and Avon Canal and stop off along route to visit towns and country inns stepped in history.
Westbury / Heywood area
The cottages are central located for visiting many local towns and villages and famous sites.
Here's a taster of what's within reach: - Just half an hour from Bath and its recently reopened Spa Baths - Longleat Safari Park & Elizabethan Mansion - Stonehenge - Avebury medieval town with stone circles - Westbury White Horse and Hill Fort carved in chalk - Cheddar Gorge and caves
There's also plenty of opportunity for walks and cycling through the stretches of beautiful countryside.
