Quirky Tours - A completely different way to see Wiltshire
Take a half-day cross country 4x4 tour (up to 4 passengers) to experience a flavour of the Wessex downlands with your own native guide/driver.
See those things that other visitors simply miss.
But don't expect too much in the way of comfort. You will travel in a rough and ready farm pick-up on overland routes for part of the time - but it will be worth it!
The majestic sweep of these chalk downs provided man with his earliest habitat as the last ice age receded. Since then, 10,000 years and 250 generations have passed leaving their layers of history within the landscape.
Now, small villages nestle in the valleys that shelter beneath the maternal downs of Cranborne Chase and rural life continues and adapts.
These are just a few examples of the richness of the area:
- Ancient Drove roads
- Neolithic & Bronze age burial sites
- A Roman road and territorial wall
- The legendary site of King Arthur's last battle
- Chalkland nature reserves and their wildlife
- A castle left ruined by a Civil War siege
- Historic churches & domestic architecture within the villages
- Modern farming alongside ancient rural crafts
