Longleat is an English country house, currently the seat of the Marquis of Bath. It is noted for its Elizabethan country house, maze, landscaped parkland and safari park. The house is set in over 900 acres of parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown, with 8,000 acres of woods and farmland. It was the first stately home to open to the public, and also claims the first safari park outside Africa.

Devizes

Devizes is a small market town in north Wiltshire, probably best known for the Kennet and Avon Canal’s Caen Hill flight of 29 locks, which rise 237 feet in 2½ miles. Or maybe because it has one of the best breweries in the country, or even because it is such a good name for limericks!

Cheddar Gorge is the largest gorge in the United Kingdom, near the village of Cheddar in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. The gorge is the site of the Cheddar Caves, where Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton, Cheddar Man, estimated to be 9,000 years old, was found in 1903. The caves, produced by the activity of an underground river, contain stalactites and stalagmites.

Castle Combe Circuit

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:48:05 +0000

Castle Combe Circuit opened just 18 months after Silverstone in the summer of 1950, making it one of the longest established circuits in the UK.

Today, the circuit boasts modern facilities for competitors and spectators, and the resurfaced and now reshaped circuit provides what is generally recognised as providing the closest circuit racing in British motorsport.
