Luxury self-catering accommodation in West Overton
Tucked into the North Wessex Downs, this ancient village has all the elements of a charming old country town, with stunning farmland all around.
About 949 AD, West Overton appears in the history books as 'Ofertune', but these days its modern name introduces guests to a picturesque village with old cottages, a church, vicarage and a handful of ancient sarsen stones, all giving West Overton a bygone feel. There are many beauty spots to confirm Overton's pretty setting: the river Kennet runs alongside the town, and there are plenty of chances to play a game of pooh sticks from a bridge. Afterwards, take the family on a scenic walk along to Manton and reward everyone with a hearty pub dinner.
Not far to the east is the archetypical English market town of Marlborough, full of characterful self-catering cottages and tiny alleys. Music buffs can schedule a visit for the annual music festival, while the literati will want to time a stay for the Marlborough Literature Festival. Longleat Safari and Adventure Park is a must for families, spread over 900 acres and housing all kinds of wild animals, plus a railway, jungle cruise and monkey temple, but young historians may prefer a trip to iconic Stonehenge combined with a walk and picnic, made from local market food.
