Every year at the beginning of July Marlborough hosts the Jazz Festival followed by the famous Marlborough College Summer School so a stay at Mayfield during this time is perfection! There are many good restaurants in Marlborough and in the surrounding countryside. Our local Pub in Wilton, The Swan , is just a 3 minute drive away, and serves delicious meals in a perfect English country  village setting. We are on the edge of the Savernake Forest, the largest privately owned forest in England, which is truly beautiful for walks  at all times of the year.

There are so many local sites to visit  but among the best are the Wilton Windmill which is one of the few working windmills left in England, The Crofton Beam Engines , the Kennet and Avon Canal, where you can watch the longboats negotiating the locks.  The Canal passes through Hungerford too and here you can catch a trip on one of the barges.  Hungerford is renowned for its wonderful antique shops. I think my favourite place is Avebury, with its mystical stones, beautiful church and elegant Manor house and it is in this area that one is most likely to see a  crop circle. Above all, one cannot stay in this area without a visit to the  mysteries of Stonehenge
