including Bath, Stonehenge, Longleat and Bradford-on-Avon.

eyes peeled!
Warminster has a park and boating lake, and Shearwater, on
the A350 is a popular spot.

building of note, built in 1837 by the Marquis of Bath to
a design reproducing a wing of Longleat house. Also
St Denys Church,14th century, St. Lawrence Chapel, 13th century
and Warminster School which dates from 1707 are worth
