41: Alton Barnes, Alton Priors, Wansdyke and the Pewsey Vale

Hidden Wiltshire Podcast

This episode is a bit of a special, as most of it was recorded outside over a year ago and it contains a special guest - David Carson MBE.
David's family have farmed the land around Milk Hill for over 100 years, and we recorded a video with him in 2021, where he took us through much of the local history around the villages of Alton Barnes, Alton Priors and the Pewsey Vale. The video can be found on YouTube (link here: Hidden Wiltshire video)
This podcast is the audio from that video, which it was always planned to release as a podcast special at some point !
But we also have an important announcement to make. After 41 episodes and almost two years, the Hidden Wiltshire podcast is coming to a pause. We will still be creating content for the website at www.hiddenwiltshire.com and we have plans to do more video so if you follow the website you can keep up to date with the latest information. We may be back in the future with some podcast specials.
Thanks for listening !
