Horton Wiltshire Map

About Horton

Horton breathes a quiet, chalk-soil air under the wide Wiltshire sky. It lies 4.9 km east-north-east of Devizes (from Devizes: bearing 67°T, OS grid SU 049 633), and is situated east-south-east of Bishops Cannings village. The land here gently rises and falls, a subtle topography that has guided the plough and the footsteps of generations, and the pale stone of its cottages seems to absorb the very light of the afternoon sun. The village green, a modest emerald heart, feels worn smooth by the passage of countless seasons, a place where the shadow of the ancient yew offers a cool respite. Though its origins are lost to the mists of time, Horton has long been a place tethered to the land, its lifeblood drawn from the surrounding fields where the chalk downs hold their secrets.
