What to do and where to go in Wiltshire

LACOCK: Lacock village is the pride of Wiltshire and completely under the care of National Trust. The village and abbey date back to the 13th century and remain largely untouched. Your group can still marvel at the lime washed, half timber and stone buildings that make up Lacock. There is plenty for your group to see and do in Lacock. Your group can shop at the many local craft and gift shops or stop to eat at the pub or tea rooms. Lacock Abbey is the perfect place to take your children as the abbey was featured in two of the Harry Potter films. Don't forget the obligatory photo of the famous White Horse on the side of the hill.

STONEHENGE: A world wonder that must be seen. How did the stones get there? How did they arrange them? Many have brought reasonable arguments to the table but no one can be sure. Still used as a place of worship for the modern druids. If your group are in the area for a mid summers day then watching the summer solstice celebrations at sunrise is a must.

STOURHEAD HOUSE & GARDENS: This 2,650 acre site is spectacular. A Palladian manor filled with Georgian treasures, mint condition Chippendale furniture and fine works of classical art. In the gardens you will find temples of worship for all religions, rare plants and flowers, two iron age hill forts, enchanting temples for Greek gods and monuments all set around a tranquil lake. The grotto is a delightful place that kids will adore.

LONGLEAT SAFARI PARK: Longleat opened in 1966 and was the first safari park outside of Africa, in fact the first of its kind in the world. For the first time ever the roles of animals and people were reversed. The animals roam freely and the humans in their car shaped cages. As well as visiting the exotic and dangerous animals there is plenty more to see and do. Longleat House is a pleasure too, with exhibits such as clothing and furniture throughout the ages. In the beautiful Longleat Gardens you will find rare flowers and manicured lawns. If you are feeling adventurous try the hedge maze!

CHEDDAR GORGE: The home of the world famous cheese. Whilst visiting cheddar you may watch the cheese being made in the time old manner. You can also watch boiled sweets being made in the traditional way. The gorge to the north of the village is the largest in England and attracts more the half a million visitors each year. At its highest point it is 113m with a near vertical cliff face. There are two main caves to explore, Gough's and Cox's. It is believed that Gough's cave was used in medieval times to make cheese. Cheddar man also resides in the caves. At 9,000 years old, he is the oldest complete skeleton in the UK. This is also the only accredited cannibalistic site in the UK.

WELLS CATHEDRAL: Described as a prayer in stone and glass, Wells Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. He resides in the adjacent Bishops Palace. Although this is primarily a place of worship, guided tours are available or you may elect to just wander among the beautiful and most substantial collection of medieval stained glass windows. To hear the ten bells ring is worth waiting for. The ten bells are the heaviest collection in one place in the entire world. They are also unusual in the fact that the circle runs anti clockwise as opposed to the traditional English clockwise circle.

BATH: There are so many things to see and do in Bath. The most famous is probably the Roman Baths. Here you will see how the natural hot springs were used for bathing and medicinal purposes. If it is pampering you are after look no further than the Bath Thermae Spa. Here the natural hot spring water used in the Roman Baths will be used in your treatments. Within the Roman Baths are the pump rooms. Here you may indulge in afternoon tea whilst a string quartet plays beautiful music. You can also taste the spring water. No trip to Bath is complete without a trip to the Sally Lunn Tea Room to taste the traditionally made Sally Lunn Bun or a Bath Bun. You can also visit the American museum in Britain. Here you must view the exhibits, the house and the gardens. You can also purchase traditional American recipes.

GLASTONBURY: Glastonbury is not just home to one of the greatest music festivals in the world. Visiting the Tor is quite spectacular. This bulk of a hill rises up from Somerset's flat landscape. Glastonbury is also rumoured to be the mythical home of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, Avalon. In the original legends King Arthur is portrayed as the keeper and protector of the Holy Grail, the chalice that holds the blood of Jesus Christ. Glastonbury Abbey is the oldest "above ground" Christian church and was rumoured to have been built to house the Holy Grail. At the base of the Tor is the chalice well. This holy well has been in constant use for at least two thousand years. The twenty five thousand gallons of water that issue from the spring every day has never failed, even in times of drought.

WOOKEY HOLE CAVES: As well as the world famous caves plus underground rivers and lakes, your group can explore the history of man himself. These caves were once inhabited by Cavemen and later by the Celts. Other attractions include Britain's last surviving traditional paper mill, dinosaur valley, fairy garden, a mirror maze plus a Victorian penny arcade with real old pennies.

EAST SOMERSET RAILWAY: Take a trip through the rolling Somerset countryside on an authentic steam train. Starting from just £5 your group can take the controls and become the driver. Or you can enjoy an evening murder mystery on board one of the locomotives. If booked in advance your group can dine on the trains. Enjoy either Sunday lunch or afternoon tea.

Other local quaint towns to visit include Devizes, Warminster, Westbury, Midsomer Norton and Farleigh Hungerford which is home to the famous castle.

We loved it thanks. It was so relaxing and peaceful, the lads spent all day in the games room. As it was a big reunion we booked some caterers you advertised and had a fabulous medieval banquet. We all got dressed up and had a right scream.

We found the castle accomodation to be fantastic, it now ranks in the top five of our favourite destinations. It's was great to escape from the hassles of modern day life, it really brought the group together. We will definitely be back.

The castle accommodation was brilliant. As it was near Longleat we took the kids and us girls went to the spa in Bath for a day. The kids loved the chickens with their little chicks and kept trying to get them to come to the fence.
