If the fancy takes you to dine out for the evening, not more than a 5-minute drive away, you’ll find a selection of restaurants, plus a bar and grill. Meanwhile, essential conveniences such as grocery shops and pharmacies are less than 10 minutes away by car. Or why not visit Longleat Safari Park for an epic animal adventure where you can meet lions, giraffes, cheetahs, and even crocodiles, all only a 15-minute drive from your fabulous vacation pad? Situated in lovely Wiltshire and just north of an area of outstanding natural beauty, this delightful home away from home neighbours a cluster of other secluded properties on the grounds of an exclusive private countryside estate. Although everything you need and more is at the property, should you wish to explore the area, you’ll discover the historic market town of Warminster, around a 10-minute drive away. Sitting right on the edge of the famed Salisbury Plain, the town offers a variety of cafés and independent shops, as well as being home to Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds. Or why not drive less than 20 minutes to Trowbridge, where you can discover Trowbridge Museum? A treasure trove of activities and historical information on the region’s textile industry, the museum will interest people of all ages.
Around a 10-minute drive from the property, you’ll find the highly regarded town of Frome. Built on the fringes of the Mendip Hills, Frome is a place of great civic pride for those who call it home – and if you pay a visit, you’ll soon understand why. A hub for local arts and music, the town boasts a beautiful live music venue, two theatres, and stacks of shops and eateries, all at the edge of the glorious Exmoor National Park.
Of course, one of the jewels in the vicinity is the historic city of Bath, a little under a 30-minute drive away. A popular tourist destination for a good reason, here you can visit the spring-fed Roman baths that give the celebrated city its name, enjoy a soak at the unique Thermae Bath Spa, wander among gorgeous Georgian architecture on the city streets, take in the view from Bath Abbey Tower, and even step back in time with a visit to the delightfully genteel Jane Austen Centre, a museum celebrating Bath’s most famous resident of them all, the legendary novelist Jane Austen. And to end your Bath adventure, why not take a peaceful evening stroll along the Bath Skyline Walk, a fantastic spot for nature and sightseeing all in one place?
