Wilton and the Nadder Valley
The River Nadder flows east towards Salisbury, flanked to the north and south by picturesque settlements such as the Teffonts, Compton Chamberlayne, Barford St Martin and Fovant - the latter being renowned for its series of regimental badges carved into the hillside in memory of the servicemen who lost their lives in The Great War.
Nestling at the confluence of the rivers Nadder and Wylye, Wilton is the ancient capital of Wessex, a quintessential English market town with a history spanning more than 2,000 years. The town gave its name not only to Wiltshire, but also to the famous Wilton Carpets, which are still manufactured there today.
Market day is Thursday and, with cash points and free parking, you have easy access to the wide range of traditional, family-owned shops, pubs, cafés and other services.
Within a short walk of the Market Square and St Mary's Ruin you will find the famous Italianate Church and a delightful river walk running along the Wylye from St John's Square, through the Flouse Hole conservation area to Castle Meadow.
Combine this with the spectacular stately home of Wilton House and the factory outlets of Wilton Shopping Village and you have a unique and varied day out for visitors of all ages.
