Hillcrest is ideally situated in the village of Winsley 2 miles from Bradford on Avon and 6 miles from Bath. Winsley is a typical quiet English village where houses are built of stone. A quaint 17th century village pub is approximately 10 minutes walk away.

One of the most beautiful and interesting places in the South West of England. The rolling countryside embraces the River Avon and the recently restored Kennet and Avon Canal.

Bradford on Avon is a picturesque part medieval/part Saxon town on the southern edge of the Cotswold Hills. This lovely old town with its quaint streets and an abundance of antique shops, gift shops and traditional tea rooms which give the visitor a feeling that time has stood still.

A delightful riverside walk will take you past the 14th century Tithe Barn, which was once the granary for Shaftesbury Abbey, over the ancient Packhorse Bridge and along to the Saxon church of St. Laurence believed to date from 700 AD.

Bath is an all year round resort with its many parks, museums, restaurants and pavement cafes giving the city a truly cosmopolitan feel. The elegant shops and Theatre Royal reflect the style and wealth of this wonderful city.

A recent guide described Bath as having vibrant summers, mellow autumns, bewitching winters and vibrant springs. Although Bath's foundations are Roman, this Georgian city is one of the most elegant and beautiful cities in the world.
