Situation

Erlestoke is a small attractive village comprising mainly older style houses and cottages with some later additions nestling under the Westbury hills. It has a church, a golf course (which Elizabethan Cottage backs on to) and a popular cricket club with easy unrestricted public access to Erlestoke Woods (great bluebells in the spring) and the Wessex Path for wonderful dog walking and cycling. 'Holy Trinity' primary school in the neighbouring village of Great Cheverell has been voted in the top 1% in the country in recent years and there is another highly rated public house called 'The Three Daggers' and adjacent farm shop in the other neighbouring village of Edington. Excellent secondary schools are available at nearby Market Lavington and Dauntsey's In West Lavington. The village is within easy reach of the larger towns of Devizes, Westbury and Trowbridge. The major centres of Bath, Salisbury, Swindon, Marlborough and Chippenham are all within a 30 mile radius. Westbury has a mainline railway station with regular trains to London.
