Places to stay in Warminster
If you prefer the countryside to the bustling city... and would like to be within a short distance of many scenic and historic attractions, while retaining the facilities of shopping and good entertainment, you and your family will enjoy Warminster - a former market town of considerable importance which is now much enhanced by a recently opened bypass. The town boasts many historic attractions as well as nature trails, meadows and grassy marshlands. All of these provide plenty of opportunities for cycling and walking activities, as well as water sports at the nearby Shearwater Lake. It is also the nearest town to Longleat - home of the UK's first ever Safari Park...... and one of Britain's most impressive examples of high Elizabethan architecture. Warminster is a lively town with good shopping facilities and entertainment. It is also known for the wide scope of its educational facilities. Dr. Arnold, who was perhaps the most famous Headmaster of Rugby School, was educated at Warminster. For delightful experiences outside Warminster you need look no further than Longleat, stately home of the Thynne family for more than 400 years, which lies at the centre of what is without doubt the countries foremost Safari Park, which is the star of the BBC's immensely popular "Animal Park" series. Dazzling views of the town can be enjoyed from Cop Heap, and Cley Hill Iron-Age Hillfort which belongs to the National Trust can be found about three miles west of Warminster.
