Head to Bradford on Avon for golden-stoned picturesque beauty
BRADFORD ON AVON
Our final destination on our West Wilts circular tour, before we wind our way back to Bath, is this golden-stoned town with the River Avon running through, dotted with 19thcentury weavers’ cottages and former cloth mills. It is also the location of the luxury family hotel Woolley Grange and the 18th-century country house hotel Widbrook Grange. Widbrook’s manager Matthew Buy, believes the BOA setting has helped make his retreat such a success, “This part of Wiltshire is rich in agriculture, therefore offering an abundant and diverse array of locally sourced produce, which benefits our menu offerings.” And as we head off home, Matthew’s personal appreciation of this graceful, good looking and flourishing West Wilts region also best reflects our own feelings. “With Cathedral cities nestled amongst quaint Cotswold villages, local legends served up next to gorgeous little tea shops and quality dining found alongside a World Heritage site, I can’t imagine tiring of this area.”
