Things to do

To enable you to visit the local area we have two bicycles available for you to borrow. Devizes town is 3 miles to the west along the A342.

Local pubs for lunch are shown below:

  • Fox and Hounds - does a good selection of food and is only 2 miles away. It is a further 1.5 miles into Devizes.

  • New Inn at Coate - about 2.5 miles

  • Bridge Inn at Horton - about 3 miles. From there it is possible to cycle the back way into Devizes along the canal towpath.

If you prefer to walk there is a coffee shop with snacks and a farm shop at The Old Potato Yard, Lydeway. It is about a 20 minute walk from the RWY28 threshold. Cross the railway, walk south for 10 minutes to a T junction, turn right and follow the track around to the left. At the road cross over and the Old Potato Yard is straight ahead. See https://mipo.co.uk/eat-drink for details.

From the 2021 season we hope to have our caravan available so visitors can stay overnight. Contact me on 07764579860 for details.
