Small Boutique hotels in WILTSHIRE

Eminently rural, the history of the historic county of Wiltshire, in the south-west of England, combines the legacy of Romans, Normans and Saxons. In a place of green hills, an additional highlight are the spectacular set of archaeological remains from the Bronze Age. They continue to attract a lot of attention due to the mysteries involved in its construction.

Among the medieval towns that dazzle is Salisbury and the magnificence of its cathedral. The Benedictine Abbey of Malmesbury, built in the 12th century, came to house the second largest library in Europe. Longleat House also deserves a visit. Next to Horningsham, it is one of the most imposing Elizabethan houses in England, with a splendid collection of art.

The fascination exerted by the megalithic monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury, the largest Stone Circle in all of Europe dating back to 2000 BC., attract visitors from all over the world. Both have deserved their place as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The Kennet & Avon Canal, which crosses the county of Wiltshire, offers the option of enjoying a barge vacation or kayaking. This water course is ideal for cycling or walking, crossing picturesque towns such as Pewsey and Brandford on Avon. Imposing old mansions surrounded by large gardens have been transformed into luxury hotels that pay homage to the best British classic style.
