Living Locally

Wiltshire.

Wiltshire is home to two World Heritage Sites (Stonehenge and Avebury) as well as numerous market towns and quintessential English hamlets such as Eddington, Lacock and Castle Combe.

Wiltshire also has an outstanding collection of stately homes and gardens, tearooms, lovely pubs and fantastic restaurants. Main attractions in the county include Bowood, Stourhead and “Animal Park” famed Longleat, the seat of the Marquis of Bath as well as a Center Parcs next door.

With almost half of the county designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the list is endless for countryside walks and bike rides and with impressive heritage in Arts and Culture, Wiltshire hosts more than 20 museums, a packed calendar of festivals and events and various theatres and music centres.

Wiltshire is well served with excellent nurseries, primary and secondary schools. Independent schools such as Warminster, Godolphin, Marlborough and Dauntsey’s offer top education and Wiltshire College with its campuses in Chippenham, Trowbridge, Lackham and Salisbury offer every course available for full or part time study including administration, sciences, management, farm management, art and design, media production and health care.

Somerset.

Across the border in Somerset, Upsalls Property Management has years of experience for property lettings in the county where rents are favourable for most budgets.

Somerset sprawls across four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts 37 miles of unspoiled coastline and it is an “unhurried” county offering enjoyable rural living set in glorious countryside.

From bike rides to countryside rambles and Sunday lunches in the local are a mainstay of living in the market towns and villages which still offer easy access to larger towns in the region.

People in Somerset are very friendly and settling into a new community offers instant neighbourliness thanks to a real sense of community and belonging which can be harder to find in the UK’s major cities.

All these features contribute to making Somerset a leading destination for relocation thanks to a quality of life with a high life expectancy amongst comparable counties.
