Welcome to Halfway

Halfway is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It is situated halfway between the towns of Devizes and Melksham, hence the name. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Leonard's Church. The village also has a primary school, a pub, and a village hall which hosts a range of community events throughout the year.

One of the main attractions of Halfway is its proximity to the Kennet and Avon Canal. The canal runs through the village and provides a picturesque setting for walks and bike rides. The canal is also popular with boaters, and there are several boat hire companies in the area. Halfway is also close to the Caen Hill Locks, a flight of 29 locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal that are a popular tourist attraction.

Despite its small size, Halfway has a strong sense of community. The village hall hosts a range of events throughout the year, including a summer fete, a Christmas fair, and a fireworks display. The village also has a cricket team and a football team, both of which play in local leagues. Halfway is a peaceful and friendly village that offers a great quality of life for its residents.

Shearwater Lake Wiltshire
Easy To Find If You Know Warminster, It's The First Time We've Been And My Husband, Myself And Two Dogs Really Enjoyed Ourselves. Took A While To Figure Out Where The Dogs To Be Let Of There Leads As They Aren't Allowed Around The Main Lake Because Of People Fishing, However There Are Other Areas In Which The Dogs Can Have A Good Splash About. Lovely Scenery Of The Main Lake And Surrounding Forest. You Can Hire Boats And Take On The Lake, Have A Nice Bike Ride Around (Which We Are Planning) Or Just Enjoy The Walk. Would Recommend For Any Age. Lovely Afternoon Out. 106 Clay St Warminster BA12 8AF 3.49 miles
