OUT & ABOUT!

From your front door turn right and walk into the centre of the town via the medieval bridge over the River Avon (2 minutes).

From here you can walk by footpath all the way up the hillside to the site of the old Saxon settlement of Budbury, winding along footpaths past ancient buildings many once occupied by the weavers who brought Bradford its wealth. From these paths glimpse stunning views towards the Westbury White Horse on the distant Salisbury Plain! (10-15 minutes each way)

In the other direction, walk out to the old packhorse bridge over the Kenet & Avon Canal (5 minutes) where you can watch barges negotiating the busy lock. This lock-side area is very much Bradford's second centre.
