West Lavington

Travel Guide

West Lavington from Strawberry Hill 452274 gives a view of West Lavington from a different direction. 'It lies far away from the coming and going of the great busy world,' wrote an inhabitant in 1875. Today, and for many decades, the great busy world speeds along the A360 from Salisbury to Devizes and threads its way precipitously through the chicane formed by the churchyard and the almshouses. In fact the main road spends about 8km in West Lavington parish, from the high downland south of Gore, the 'buried village of Salisbury Plain', past Gore Cross, where it is intersected by an important ridgeway, down a long descent beside landscaped woodland (known as The Warren) and into the pleasant valley where the village sits, then along some 2km of ribbon development associated with the linear village of Littleton Pannell, before leaving the parish north of the railway bridge. This journey is familiar to most Wiltshire travellers, and even without realising that chalk is giving way to Greensand and clay, many must feel as they pass along that here south Wiltshire ends and west Wiltshire begins" All this and more in: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getconcise.php?id=237

Byway open to all traffic on Strawberry Hill Looking south east near West Lavington. Wild strawberries? A treat to be remembered must be eaten on the spot. They don't travel - mine don't anyway.

North east from Strawberry Hill Looking across the western end of the Vale of Pewsey. One of the white horses can be seen as a whitish smudge on the far hillside. Not sure which one it is, all I can tell you it is facing the wrong way to be the one near Alton Barnes.

The hotel was delightfully situated for the centre of the city and its activities. However the absence of convenient parking was a bit of a drawback. The staff were welcoming but it was a shame that the room had no chair to relax and read in. And the bathroom had not hooks or rails for the towels ...

Apartment was very clean and well kept. Bed was comfortable with a great bathroom. Very central location, great for exploring Bath. Some noise around 7am when they deliver towels to the Spa next door, but otherwise quiet, as it's on side street/no through road.
