If you’re planning to stay in the area it might be useful to have some pointers to the various outdoor activities on our door stop.  I’m always happy to help make plans for your days out when you’re staying with us and if you’d like me to make a booking for any of the activities listed below then please just ask.

Gliding

The Bath, Wiltshire and North Dorset Gliding Club is just over the hill in Kingston Deverill.  Sensational views over the beautiful Deverills, further information at Mere Gliding Club

With a good selection of sporting and skeet targets from automatic traps and again within walking distance is Wood Farm Shooting School.  They offer excellent tuition or you can just use their facilities.  This suits both individuals or makes a good outing for a group of friends. http://www.woodfarmclays.co.uk/
