Inside the November 2021 issue

We meet opera singer Carly Paoli, who is lending her voice to campaigning for the protection of our countryside; in My Wiltshire, Charlie Luxton explains how the Beckford Arms provided the perfect escape; Pradeep Bhardwaj, of the Swindon Hindu Temple gives an insight into the importance of their presence and work in the town, and far beyond; Nick Fogg looks at how the 17th century writer Samuel Taylor Coleridge found a brief solace during his time in Calne; Amanda Jane Smith from Tedworth Equestrian, explains how they support people experiencing difficulties relating from mental health, to trauma; Gary Lawrence reveals Chippenham’s impressive contemporary art connections; we head to Devizes Museum as it hosts a new exhibition bringing together the stunning downland artwork of Eric Ravilious; Simon Heptinstall unearths the top 10 hoards discovered in the county, and the team at Forestry England share their favourite fungi to look out for this autumn.

This issue also includes the 2021 Eating Out Guide

Welcome to the 2021 Eating Out Guide which features some of the finest restaurants, pubs, inns and hotels from all parts of the county. We are delighted that all of these places are open again, and that we are able to enjoy the warm and friendly hospitality that is on offer. All the venues have adapted to a new post-Covid era, with safety the number one priority indoors and out. Who could have envisaged snuggly blankets, hot water bottles, fire pits, heaters and pods would become the norm two years ago. This year we welcome some familiar places and some not so familiar new ones. If you are travelling for a meal a few miles away from home, why not make a day of it? Pop into the local town or village, support our independent shops and incorporate a walk to see a different side of Wiltshire. Our landlords, landladies, owners, general managers and all the staff deserve a huge pat on the back for all they have done for us. They deserve our support, and we all deserve a fabulous meal out!
