Explore the forests
Postern Hill campsite is situated with direct walking trails into the grand and historic Savernake Forest, with beautiful walks for all to discover the ancient trees and enjoy.
Savernake Forest is rich in history and has lots to explore. It is a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) as well as a registered important historic park, making it the perfect forest for an exciting and educational day out.
The history of the forest goes back for a thousand years or more. Its long history of human management has created an outstanding legacy of old trees, rich landscapes, and diverse habitats. One of the country's oldest trees, the Big Bellied Oak, is very noticeable on the side of the A346.
Fabulous natural woods are in abundance in close proximity to Postern Hill too, including West Woods, said to be the site some of the great stones of Stonehenge hailed from, along with Nightingale Wood and Webb's wood. There's so much to see and discover.
Marlborough town centre
Situated in the picturesque rural north-east of Wiltshire, and the site of a twice-weekly market, the High Street is one of the widest in the UK and lines on both sides, with characterful old buildings housing an array of high quality shops.
The Merchant's House - one of the finest 17th century middle-class homes open to visitors in England - is also to be found on the High Street here and contains a wealth of period features, paintings and artefacts and on-going restoration. Also on Marlborough’s High Street is St Peter’s Church, now a community centre. At certain times visitors can do a tower tour for great views over the town.
Amongst Marlborough’s many claims to fame is the mysterious Merlin’s Mound which can be found within the grounds of Marlborough College and is the reputed burial place of the wizard Merlin.
