Bath will be high on your list of places to visit while you are staying at Hinton Lodge. A World Heritage City, with Georgian architecture and the Roman Baths, as well as numerous festivals throughout the year encompassing music, literature and food as well as the Christmas Market which sells festive and European gifts and produce.

The counties of Somerset and Wiltshire are rich in farmland and for this reason there are farmers markets and farm shops aplenty offering organic and fairtrade cheese, butter, milk, meat and chicken as well as locally made jams and chutneys. Enjoying local food, is what makes a visit to this area extra special.Some of the picturesque towns nearby are Corsham, Bradford on Avon and the National Trust village of Lacock which is regularly used for filming, most recently the latest Judi Dench "Barchester Chronicles" to be screened in October and in the past, the Harry Potter films.
	Avebury's stone circles create the most extraordinary atmosphere particularly if you can see them at dusk or dawn and archaeologists still struggle with the answer to why Silbury Hill was built. The same eerie feeling can also be found at Old Sarum and Old Waldour Castle, also look out for the white horses carved into a number of hillsides around the county.
Wiltshire spreads from the Cotswolds and Swindon in the north to the cathedral city of Salisbury in the south, from Bath in the west to Marlborough inthe east. In its midst are bustling and traditional market towns such as Malmesbury, Bradford-on-Avon and Devizes which still serve the local farming communities as they have done for centuries.
