Axford Wiltshire Map

About Axford

Axford breathes a quiet air of Wiltshire's rolling chalk downs. It lies 4.7 km east of Marlborough (from Marlborough: bearing 80°T, OS grid SU 235 700), and is situated east of Mildenhall village. The land here slopes gently, catching the pale, diffused light of the South West, a light that seems to soften the edges of the old farmhouses and the occasional scatter of flint walls. A small stream, more a silver thread than a roaring river, whispers its way through the fields that surround Axford, feeding the rich, dark earth. The village itself, a scattering of dwellings rather than a dense cluster, offers a sense of peaceful detachment, a place where the sky feels vast and the wind carries the scent of damp soil and distant sheep.
