excellent village shop/post office, a butcher, a primary school and two pubs.

families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the quality of life and excellent schools in both the state and private sectors. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as the Longleat Estate, Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead Gardens and Wilton House.
