Escape the Everyday this Winter in Wiltshire

Mists rising above the canal

This winter in Wiltshire, take time out from the everyday. Stretch your legs and explore somewhere new. Discover hidden gems. Treat yourself and enjoy time together with your loved ones. Feel calm, soothed, refreshed and energised. Book a getaway in Wiltshire and bask in the timeless beauty of our landscapes and the warmth of our towns and villages.

Take a walk through the colourful fallen leaves, surrounded by green and golden trees. Settle down by the fire in a traditional English pub. Drift serenely downstream aboard a pretty narrowboat. Enjoy a traditional winter with fireworks, carol singing, Christmas shopping and time spent with family. Step back in time inside a grand stately home. Explore quaint cottage-lined streets in a sleepy market town. You'll never want to leave.

This winter, escape to Wiltshire. You will be here in no time. 

winter trees and snow covered fields


Discover our Timless Countryside and Charming Towns

Escape the everyday as you explore outdoors in Wiltshire. Admire golden leaves reflected in a tranquil canal, or climb a grassy hillside to watch sunlight and shadow chase each other over rolling downlands. Walk amongst morning mists between ancient standing stones, with frost-covered grass crunching beneath your feet. Explore the winding, historic streets of a picturesque market town - just make sure you leave time to stop for a hot drink at a cute tearoom, or a beer by the fire in a welcoming pub, or a quick mooch around the independent shops. However you prefer to explore - by foot, on horseback or by bike - there is lots to see in Wiltshire this winter. Take a look at these top places for winter walks in Wiltshire for some inspiration.

For a quintessentially English market town with a slightly exotic twist, head to Corsham just twenty minutes from Bath on the edge of the Cotswolds. This hidden treasure boats historic buildings, pleasant parkland, independent shops and a thriving culturall scene. It has had a starring role in film and TV shows, and is also home to a so-called 'ostentation' of flamboyant peacocks. Escape the everyday in Corsham this Autumn or Winter.


Enjoy Food and Drink

Spend time with your loved ones over a delicious meal. There's nothing more 'hyggelig' than a long walk through the fallen leaves followed by a hearty meal in a warm and cosy pub. Or a long afternoon spent catching up with friends over a hot chocolate in a cafe or tearoom. Or why not treat yourself to a delicious meal at a local restaurant. You can also enjoy delicious local produce here in Wiltshire - head to our farmers markets and pick up some tasty, fresh produce to make into your own delicious treats.

In Salisbury, enjoy the delights of the award- winning Gallery Cafe at Fisherton Mill. Spacious and comfortable, there is a scrumptious selection of homemade cakes baked daily and an imaginative contemporary lunch menu all made on the premises. This converted Victorian grain mill in the heart of Salisbury’s city-centre is now the largest independent art gallery in the south west, offering visitors the chance to browse, shop and eat in a unique atmosphere this winter. Discover Fisherton Mill this winter.
