Stanton Country Park

Like many of Wiltshire's foremost attractions, Stanton Park has a fascinating and far-reaching history, with the 'Manor of Stantone' gaining a mention in the Domesday Book of the 11th Century. Many years later in 2000, the park was opened to public in its current form, as a country park and nature reserve.

Spread across 74 hectares of stunning countryside, the park offers a variety of habitats ranging from ponds and wetlands to more formal flower beds. Central to the Green Flag Award winning park is evidence of a Roman Villa dating back to around the year 200AD.
