Villages of the Vale
The villages of the Vale of Pewsey are beautiful – some are small hamlets of just a few houses and farms, others slightly bigger.
Pewsey is the largest village and has all the services you will need for your stay.
There are lots of villages that still have their village pub, some have village greens and you’d be hard-pressed to find a village that doesn’t abound with thatched cottages. Canalside villages are great places to stop if you are walking the Kennet & Avon Canal. Village shops and churches are dotted all over the Vale.
If you are looking for quintessential England, then the Vale of Pewsey is the place to visit.
