Teffont Magna, sometimes called Upper Teffont, is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Teffont, in the Nadder valley in the south of the county of Wiltshire, England. For most of its history, Teffont Magna was a chapelry of neighbouring Dinton. In 1934 it was combined with the parish of Teffont Evias, just to the south, to form a united Teffont parish. Location Teffont Magna lies 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) west of Dinton and 7 miles (11 km) west of Wilton. The parish extends north onto the chalk downs that separate the valleys of the Nadder and Wylye.[1] The village is between Chilmark and Dinton on the B3089 Hindon to Barford St Martin road, in the valley of a stream which rises just to the north and flows south through Teffont Evias to join the Nadder.

The house you can see in the park is Philipps House. The house nestles in the steep wooded banks behind it and looks out over the expansive parkland. It’s separated from the park by a special deer fence called a ha-ha which allows uninterrupted views across the park and stops deer and cattle from into the garden. The house was designed by Jeffry Wyatville in a Georgian style with Greek-inspired columns supporting the large portico front. It was named Dinton House after the park for the Wyndham family. It was later renamed to Philipps House when it was sold to Bertram Philipps. In 2023 a 25-year lease of the house was conditionally sold for £2m. https://www.struttandparker.com/properties/st-marys-road-6

Who says England doesn't have gravel? (just ignore the Pertwood section). Sherrington wood/Great Ridge is a bit lifeless compared to Grovelly wood over the way, but offers a more durable surface to spin through.

Fonthill Lake is part of the Fonthill Estate, which dates back to 1533. The lake is natural but has been landscaped over the years and used to power mills as well as for pleasure. Today it's a great place to run, with a footpath along the western shore.

The Ansty maypole stands in the middle of a road junction since 1881. They replaced it with a lower pole in 1990, and it's still used on May day for maypole dancing.
