Alton Priors Wiltshire Map

About Alton Priors

Alton Priors rests within the gentle embrace of the Wiltshire countryside. It lies 10.4 km south-west of Marlborough (from Marlborough: bearing 229°T, OS grid SU 110 623), and is situated east-north-east of Alton Barnes village. The chalk downland that cradles Alton Priors often catches the sun in a way that lends an almost ethereal glow to the rolling fields, a light that seems to have been present for centuries. This tranquil hamlet, a scattering of dwellings rather than a bustling centre, speaks of a long and quiet habitation, its fields yielding their bounty to the seasons with an ancient, unhurried cadence. The very air here seems to carry the scent of ripening wheat and the distant bleating of sheep, a testament to the enduring agricultural heart of Alton Priors.
