Cyclists will love Wiltshire. It’s the place in which to enjoy leisurely two-wheeled exploration on traffic-free country lanes.
Wiltshire is blessed with an exceptional range of places to visit. You’ll need more than a few days to visit the world class gardens, historic houses and masterly cathedral and churches. The spectacular Longleat has grounds containing no less than 12 attractions; take a drive through a safari park, jump on the wet and wild safari boats, get lost in the world’s longest hedge maze or wander around Britain’s friendliest stately home…
Swindon has lots to offer. Why not take a ride on a standard-gauge steam train or hop on the miniature line at the Brokerswood Country Park? Or how about The Cotswold Water Park just north of Swindon; it’s an aquatic adventure land! Britain’s largest water park has 132 lakes on which you can enjoy anything from Sailing to Windsurfing, Canoeing or Jet Skiing, as well as more peaceful activities like Bird Watching, Walking and Cycling.
Wiltshire is good for shopping, at McArthur Glen Designer Outlet everything’s under one roof. There’s even a play area for the children. Salisbury is full of character, and lots of shopping can be done there too. Or why not try a relaxing cruise on the Kennet and Avon canal? This is Britain’s ‘best loved canal’ and it runs from Bristol to Reading. Wiltshire makes an ideal base for those who want to explore spectacular architecture, heritage, shops and nightlife whilst still enjoying a rural location.
