Welcome to Hook

Hook is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles east of the town of Trowbridge and 10 miles west of the city of Salisbury. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. Hook is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Mary's Church and the Grade II listed Hook House.

One of the main attractions in Hook is the village pub, The Bell Inn. This traditional English pub dates back to the 18th century and is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pub serves a range of real ales and traditional pub food, and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The Bell Inn also hosts regular events, including live music and quiz nights, making it a hub of activity in the village.

Another notable feature of Hook is its proximity to a number of popular tourist destinations. The village is just a short drive from the historic city of Bath, which is famous for its Roman baths and Georgian architecture. The nearby town of Bradford-on-Avon is also worth a visit, with its picturesque canal and charming shops and cafes. Overall, Hook is a charming and peaceful village that offers a taste of traditional English life, as well as easy access to some of the region's most popular attractions.

Mouldon Hill Country Park
A Lovely Park For Dog Walking. There Is A Lake Which Often Has Anglers On It So Best To Keep On A Lead For That Part, But The Actual Hill Is Perfect For Dog Walkers And There Is Lots Of Fields To Wander Into. It Is Also Not Open To Cyclists Which Is Nice. The Second Photo Displayed Above Is Copyrighted To Brian Robert Marshall And Licensed For Reuse Under This Creative Commons Licence.
