Crabtree Cottage

Overlooking the Green in this small Pewsey Vale village and a short walk from the Kennet & Avon Canal, this 18th century, brick and thatched cottage has been tastefully refurbished by its owners and now provides a charming and very comfortable pied a terre.

This part of Wiltshire has many contrasting landscapes - the ancient Savernake Forest, the open expanses of the Marlborough Downs above the more sheltered Vale of Pewsey. The area is rich in prehistoric sites such as Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and Kennet Long Barrow and is also of interest for its industrial past - Crofton Beam Engines and a working windmill at Wilton. Narrow boat trips are available on the canal from nearby Wootton Rivers and Pewsey. For keen cyclists, Crabtree Cottage is situated on The Wiltshire Cycleway route.

The attractive market towns of Marlborough and Hungerford, well known for their antique shops, pubs and restaurants, are a short drive from Burbage. Further afield but still within an hour's driving distance are Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford, Salisbury and The Cotswolds.
