There are wonderful walks in the area, the famous Westonbirt Arboretum, Abbey House Gardens, Malmesbury with its medieval market cross and Norman Abbey and ‘Royal’ Tetbury with its antique shops, tea rooms and the famous Prince of Wales’ Highgrove shop are all worth a visit.
The Fosse Way which forms the border of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, is brilliant for mountain biking and walking. Built by the Romans to link Bath to Lincoln in virtually a straight line, the Fosse Way was 'designated a Royal Road in the twelfth century and was under the King's (Henry II) protection. By law, it had to be wide enough to allow two wagons to pass each other or sixteen armed knights to ride side by side' (source: Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir p122). Fortunately, it is a by way track adjacent to the farm, that extends some three to four miles in each direction from the B4014 road that links Malmesbury to Tetbury and it provides some of the best off-road year-round carriage driving routes in the country.
Water sports are available at the Water Park at South Cerney.
