The small village of Collingbourne Kingston is nestled in the beautiful valley of the River Bourne, and is surrounded by the "big skies" and rolling chalk downland for which Wiltshire is famous. We are within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which stretches away to the north and east, and adjoins the vast wilderness of Salisbury Plain immediately west of the farm. 

Our village and those nearby have many pretty thatched cottages, ancient churches and popular country pubs. The River Bourne is a "winterbourne" (flowing from autumn through to spring) and flows south to become a tributary of the River Avon at Salisbury. The River Avon joins the sea at Christchurch, Dorset.

The valley of the River Bourne lies just south of the beautiful Vale of Pewsey, which divides the extensive upland areas of the Marlborough Downs to the north, and Salisbury Plain to the south. The recently restored Kennet and Avon Canal passes through the Vale of Pewsey.

Our 550 acre farm and its ancient chalk downland occupy some of the highest land in the area, and consequently the views over the surrounding countryside are spectacular. There is superb walking and cycling from the farm with many public rights of way in the locality. We are approximately 2 miles from the Wiltshire Cycleway.

The village falls within "Kennet District" which is officially described as "mainly rural and agricultural in character and includes some of the finest landscape in southern England." About 66 per cent of the District is included within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a further 20 per cent is designated a Special Landscape Area.
