Welcome to Rivar

Rivar is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Dun, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for residents and visitors alike. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. Today, Rivar is a peaceful and charming community that offers a range of amenities and attractions for those who choose to call it home.

One of the most notable features of Rivar is its beautiful countryside setting. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and dense woodland, making it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts. There are numerous walking and cycling trails in the area, as well as opportunities for fishing, horse riding, and other outdoor activities. The River Dun is also a popular spot for boating and kayaking, and there are several local companies that offer guided tours and equipment rental.

Despite its rural location, Rivar is well-connected to the rest of Wiltshire and beyond. The village is just a short drive from the town of Hungerford, which offers a range of shops, restaurants, and other amenities. The nearby M4 motorway provides easy access to London and other major cities, while the local train station offers regular services to Reading and other destinations. With its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and convenient location, Rivar is a truly unique and special place to live.
