About Grittleton

Grittleton, a Wiltshire parish, offers a quiet aspect of rural England. It lies 9.2 km north-west of Chippenham (from Chippenham: bearing 317°T, OS grid ST 858 799), and is situated north-north-east of Upper Castle Combe village. The scattered houses of Grittleton are set against a landscape of rolling fields, the hedgerows often thick with the scent of hawthorn in spring. The very air here seems to hold a certain stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of wind through ancient oaks. A notable landmark is the imposing Grittleton House, a Victorian country house that stands as a striking, if somewhat somber, testament to a past era of considerable estate ownership. The surrounding countryside, with its subtle undulations and the muted greens of its pastures, offers a sense of enduring peace.
