Welcome
Gill and Adrian welcome you to Wheatleys Farm - a dairy farm on the edge of the peaceful and picturesque village of Ashton Keynes, the first village on the River Thames.

We are situated in the South Cotswolds only 8 miles from Swindon and 7 miles from Cirencester and within the Cotswold Water Park. We are surrounded by our own land with the River Thames running through the farm. An ideal base for buisness professional as the rural ensures a quiet and relaxing enviroment whilst providing excellent access to buisness parks in Swindon. Wirless internet access is available.

Detached luxury self contained accomodation also available. Prices vary according to time of year. Please ring 01285 861310.

Accommodation comprises two spacious and comfortably furnished ensuite rooms (one family and one double with a kingsize bed). Each room has radio alarm, remote controlled colour television, hairdryer and hospitality tray. You can enjoy a good farmhouse breakfast cooked with locally sourced produce where possible in our conservatory overlooking the garden, before spending a relaxing day doing your own thing.

We have a large garden and ample off-road car parking.

Two village pubs are within walking distance and both offer excellent food. Alternatively the area boasts some excellent eating houses from simple country pubs to sophisticated restaurants.

We farm about 500 acres, milking 200 Holstein cows and rearing all calves either for beef or as dairy replacements. The arable land is used to produce feed for the animals all year round.

Local Area
Our farmhouse lies within the Cotswold Water Park which is Britain's largest water park, comprising more than 140 lakes covering an area of 40 square miles. The water park lakes are flooded gravel workings put to a variety of new uses. It is already much larger than the Norfolk Broads and still growing.

Here there are picnic and barbeque sites with plenty of parking and access to a network of footpaths, cycleways and bridlepaths.

The Thames Path National Trail
The Thames Path starts at Kemble (7 miles away) and passes through Ashton Keynes, which is the first village on the River Thames. As you leave the village you walk over and around many lakes now mellowing as time has introduced natural wild flowers and shrubs, encouraging many insects and birds to the area. As you leave the lakes, the path takes you along a track on the old railway line then past a bridge on the line of the North Wiltshire Canal to the nature reserve of North Meadow where one of the best displays of the snake's head fritillary can be seen during April and May each year.
