Three Trees Farm Shop & Café

Highlight • Cafe

This friendly farm shop and cafe is very conveniently located at the Chiseldon end of the Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway Path.

The staff is friendly and the food reasonably priced - I missed the cafe because of my inability to properly read signs 😓
In times of Covid they separated the Cafe from the Shop and the entrance to the Cafe is at the side (it is clearly signed, but I somehow missed it).

Regardless, the Scotch egg with smoked bacon in the sausage wrapping was a revelation, and the resupply of fresh water a godsend on a particularly warm day.

Thoroughly recommended!

Chiseldon and Marlborough Railway Path (NCN Route 482)

Highlight • Cycleway

I loved this route as it follows an old railway line for several miles and is a very good condition track, reasonably wide, fast and fun.

A great wide and undulating gravel track through the forest shared with the odd car that throughs up some dust as it passes

Savernake Forest

Highlight • Historical Site

Covering an area of 7 sq miles (18 sq km) Savernake Forest is an enchanting place to explore. Originally created around AD 934 as a royal woodland, the forest has lived through exciting British history from the Civil War to Norman Conquest. Once a beloved hunting ground of King Henry VIII, it is believed that he met his future wife Jane Seymour here, daughter of Sir John Seymour, head of the estate.

Today, the forest makes up part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful species of trees and varied wildlife.
