Shopping
Nearest Corner shop – Great Somerford, probably 3 or so miles.
Malmesbury has everything you need (6 mile drive).
Butcher, small Co-Op, bakery, chemist, hardware, deli/organic shop, and much more.
Waitrose on outskirts of Malmesbury
Sainsbury’s in Wootton Bassett (also 6 mile drive).
Small M&S at BP fuel station on outskirts of Wootton Bassett
Wootton Bassett also has everything, but not quite as picturesque as Malmesbury

Caen Locks, Devizes
Lacock, most beautiful village
Beach at Cotswold Water Park
Westonbirt Arboretum
All the more Cotswoldsy-type towns, but they are a drive away
