Here are five picture perfect villages to visit in Wiltshire.
1. Milton Lilbourne to the East of Pewsey town is a picture perfect linear village centred around the Grade II* listed Manor House.
2. Wootton Rivers. The village has several listed buildings including the quirky church of St Andrew with its unique clock and is also home to the Wootton Rivers Lock as well as a pretty historic thatched pub, the Royal Oak. Walk to nearby Martinsell Hill for great views of the surrounding areas.
3. Great Bedwyn is an idyllic English village on the edge of Savernake Forest. The Church of St Mary's is of particular historic interest; it is a Grade I listed building and contains a memorial to Sir John Seymour, father to Jane Seymour.
4. The twin villages of Alton Priors and Alton Barnes near the Alton White Horse, one of eight carved chalk horses found across Wiltshire. There are two pretty churches to see in the villages; Medieval All Saint’s Church in Alton Priors and the ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, Alton Barnes, which is partly Saxon in origin. The small hamlet of Honeystreet is nearby, where you can stop off for a cup of tea at the Honeystreet Mill Cafe.
5. The three Manningford villages, Manningford Bohune, Manningford Abbots and Manningford Bruce, offer lovely walks along peaceful country lanes. Located near to the Pewsey White Horse, these villages boast pretty thatched cottages and gorgeous surrounding countryside.
