Old Wardour Wiltshire Map

About Old Wardour

Old Wardour surveys the Wiltshire countryside with a quiet dignity. It lies 8.1 km east-north-east of Shaftesbury (from Shaftesbury: bearing 65°T, OS grid ST 937 263), and is situated south-east of Wardour village. The very air here seems to hold the scent of damp earth and ancient stone, a subtle perfume that clings to the low-lying hills. A gentle murmur of the River Nadder, unseen but ever-present, threads through the landscape, its soft voice a counterpoint to the rustling leaves of the surrounding woodlands. The scattered dwellings of Old Wardour, their walls weathered by countless seasons, appear to have grown organically from the very soil, each one a quiet testament to enduring habitation. Here, the light often falls with a diffused, almost ethereal quality, softening the edges of the fields and lending a contemplative air to the familiar contours of the land.
