Welcome to Goatacre

Goatacre is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles north of the town of Calne and 6 miles south of the town of Royal Wootton Bassett. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Goatacre Manor House. The village also has a number of amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a cricket club.

One of the main attractions of Goatacre is its cricket club, which was founded in 1947. The club has a long and successful history, having won a number of local and national competitions over the years. The club's ground, which is located in the heart of the village, is considered to be one of the most picturesque in the country. The club also has a thriving youth section, which provides coaching and opportunities for young people to get involved in the sport.

Another notable feature of Goatacre is its proximity to a number of historic sites and attractions. The village is located just a short drive from the ancient stone circles of Avebury and the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge. It is also within easy reach of the city of Bath, which is famous for its Roman baths and Georgian architecture. With its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and proximity to some of England's most famous landmarks, Goatacre is a charming and fascinating place to visit.
