Welcome to Heywood

Heywood is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Westbury and is known for its picturesque countryside and historic landmarks. Heywood is home to several notable buildings, including the Grade II listed Heywood House, which dates back to the 18th century. The village is also home to the Heywood School, a primary school that serves the local community.

One of the most notable features of Heywood is its proximity to the Westbury White Horse, a large chalk figure that is carved into the hillside overlooking the village. The Westbury White Horse is one of the most famous landmarks in Wiltshire and attracts visitors from all over the world. The horse is believed to date back to the 17th century and is a popular spot for hiking and sightseeing.

Heywood is also known for its rich history and cultural heritage. The village has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the Roman era, and there are several historic sites and landmarks in the area that reflect this. One of the most notable of these is the Iron Age hill fort at Bratton Camp, which is located just a few miles from Heywood. The fort is one of the largest and most impressive in the country and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and hikers alike.
