Steeple Langford has an historic Norman church containing a Purbeck marble Norman font and a ‘squint’ aperture in the wall as the main attraction. Te picturesque Langford Lakes Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of the village. Hindon is full of character and charm, when visiting with a little imagination you could travel back to the Georgian era.
Broad Chalke is home to the popular Gurston Down hill climb that attracts hundreds of visitors. Te village has been home to several celebrities, including: Sir Anthony Eden, Sir Cecil Beaton, musicians Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp. Stoke Farthing is very close to Broad Chalke and ideally situated for the Wiltshire Cycleway.

Barford St Martin is on the River Nadder and a great place to visit Salisbury, Stonehenge and the rest of Wiltshire. Fovant is home to the famous regimental badges that can be viewed from the A30.
Teffont is one village but, through history, it has
been two:- Teffont
Evias and Teffont Magna. Te two lie close together in the lovely Nadder Valley, and although adjacent, each has had a completely different history. Te spring fed stream just north of Teffont Magna, known as ‘Te Teff’ or ‘Teffont Brook’, winds its way through Teffont attracting visitors to the area. Tere is a village show in the summer and the nearby Farmer Giles Farm attraction is great for the kids.

Salisbury Plain is a landscape of extremes and the largest remaining area of chalk grassland in Northwest Europe. Including the iconic Stonehenge, there are 2,300 prehistoric sites to discover. Walk along the largest prehistoric long barrow in Britain to a 20th century East German village, hunt in puddles for a
tiny translucent shrimp and look out for the largest bird species in Europe. Te extremes of Salisbury Plain sit side by side, but before setting out please check with the Visitor Centre at Stonehenge for details of military use, as this is the largest training area in the UK and some parts are not open to the public on specific days, or not at all.
Winterbourne Stoke is one mile west of Stonehenge with a collection of stone cottages along winding lanes, accompanied by the flint and stone facade of the village manor house. Durrington is a short distance of both Stonehenge and Woodhenge. Explore the link between two of the most important henge enclosures in a less well-known part of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, as while the Stonehenge Stone Circle is known to have been a place of burial in Neolithic times, Durrington Walls was a place where people lived for part of the year and held feasts and rituals.
