    Covering an area of 7 sq miles (18 sq km) Savernake Forest is an enchanting place to explore. Originally created around AD 934 as a royal woodland, the forest has lived through exciting British history from the Civil War to Norman Conquest. Once a beloved hunting ground of King Henry VIII, it is believed that he met his future wife Jane Seymour here, daughter of Sir John Seymour, head of the estate.

    Today, the forest makes up part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful species of trees and varied wildlife.
