POSTCARDS FROM THE
NORTH WESSEX DOWNS
Come exploring with us, and discover hidden gems, local history and quirky tales from across the Downs
​While there are many well-known sites and iconic features across the Downs, we like to celebrate local, and bring you our best-loved places off the beaten track. From fairy doors to farm shops, grave sites to glorious walks, where else would you find such a wonderful variety of beauty, nature, history and culture?
​
Browse through our collection of Postcards to find breathtaking views, fascinating history, and quirky stories about the North Wessex Downs. Then plan a visit to check out your favourites, and don't forget to send us a selfie when you get to the right location for the chance to win a prize! Use the map below to find links to all our Postcards (green) as well as some of the 50 Things Not to Miss (red) in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape.
