WELCOME

The delightful Manningfords comprise of the three beautiful villages and communities of Manningford Bruce, Manningford Abbots and Manningford Bohune.
Situated in the Vale of Pewsey and flanked by the vast area of Salisbury Plain at the very heart of the Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 

Home to a number of unique heritage properties many of them thatched and a very special church. St Peter’s dates back to the 11th century and the original wooden door and huge metal key is still in daily use and has regular services. The church has many historical features and sits amidst a small and very tranquil cemetery.

The original  Village Hall situated in Manningford Bruce but serving all the Manningfords was fully modernised in 2001  and stands at the heart of the village opposite the community green. A tireless committee run a year round schedule of well attended events catering for all the ages and interests  ensuring its at the centre of village life. This light, airy and well equipped hall is also available for private hire.

Outside the converted old red phone box houses a great swap shop for books and DVDs.

There are many beautiful walks and the villages make up part of The White Horse way, a circular walking route  that provides views of the eight white horses cut into the turf of the chalk on the hillsides of Wiltshire. The Kennet and Avon canal also winds its way through the village and is home to an abundance of wildlife and many pretty painted barges. The definitive map showing all rights of way can be viewed here.

The ancient Swanborough Tump can also be visited and the details of its historical significance can be found here.

A number of diverse businesses can also be found here. There is trout farm, a salad producer, an oriental antiques barn, a thatcher, an upholster, an artist and many more.
