Ideas For Sunny Days in Wiltshire

If the sun is shining when you visit Wiltshire then we are sure you’ll want to make the most of the weather and get out and about. We’ve put together some suggestions for what to do on sunny days across the county:

Wiltshire Parks and Gardens

From town parks through to formal gardens – there is a lot of outdoor space to explore in Wiltshire. Lots of the county's parks have play areas for children. Why not visit one of Wiltshire's Stately Homes and Gardens, where you can discover historic landmarks and colourful landscapes. Bowood House and Gardens offers collections dating back 250 years and the Capability Brown gardens showcase vibrant colour all year round!

Wiltshire along the Water

Wiltshire is covered in historic waterways including the River Avon and the Kennet and Avon Canal. Perhaps you’d like to soak up the sun in one of our riverside pub gardens? You can even hire canoes and kayaks from certain points along the way or join in on a boat cruise. A great walk is up the Caen Hill Lock, a 2-mile stretch overlooking the breath-taking Kennet and Avon Canal and Devizes town.

In the north of the county at the Cotswold Lakes try your hand at boating, hiring a pedalo or some more adventurous water sports. There’s even a lakeside beach! If you want something a little more tranquil then why not visit one of our hotels with outdoor swimming pools and spas?

Wiltshire White Horses
