Knook Horse Hill stands at 178 m to the south-east of the Imber Range. It's a good climb up from the River Wylye and makes a nice loop from Heytesbury.

The bridge was built in 1907 and originally called Posingford Bridge. It's thought to be the location where authour A.A Milne and his son first played the game so is a popular destination for fans of the books.

Birdhenge was made in 2014 with the aid of a grant from the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. It is visible from a public path between Heytesbury and Knook in the Wylye Valley.

he parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul was founded in the late 11th century. It was given to Salisbury Cathedral c.1115 by Henry I to form part of a living. The value of this church was soon increased by other gifts of property, and within a few years there were canons at Heytesbury. By c.1160 it was established as a collegiate church with a dean and four prebendaries, two each of priests and deacons. A collegiate church was effectively a 'mother church' with resident priests whose task it was to go out into the wider community as missionaries, with the aim of encouraging new 'daughter churches'. In the 13th century the holder of the deanery became, and remained, the Dean of Salisbury. The college at Heytesbury and its property belonged to him. Most parishes came under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese, but Heytesbury belonged to the Dean and was therefore known as a peculiar. The Cathedrals Act of 1840 dissolved the college and abolished the prebends. The church itself is described by Pevsner as 'a large and impressive church, but an over-restored one'. The external view is dominated by its low, massive and square Norman tower in the centre. Most of the building dates from the late 12th, the 13th and the 15th centuries.

Good beer and food, open normally all day.

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a beautiful Grade I-listed building in the heart of Heytesbury. A church has existed on this spot since the Domesday Book of 1086 but there was likely something here long before then. The church you see today was built in the 12th century, modified over the next 400 years, and then restored significantly in the Victorian era.

Middle Hill, nicknamed locally as ‘piggy in the middle’, is a conical chalk hill that stands between Battlesbury Hill to the northwest and Scratchbury to the southeast. This row of hills is on the southwestern edge of Salisbury Plain overlooks the Wylye valley. Atop the hill you find an ancient and sizable bowl barrow.

Battlesbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort that affords wonderful views over the idyllic Wiltshire countryside. Today, you can still explore big ramparts and defensive ditches, which people would have manned more than 2,000 years ago.
