Off wandering around Wiltshire, with Wilton Windmill in sight

Wilton Windmill in sight through binoculars

After arriving, no longer had we crossed the old bridge over the canal, we were overrun with competition rowers, running alongside the bank in two man crews with their canoe’s above their heads. Later we found out, that this was the annual Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race, that runs every Easter! It’s an impressive 125 miles long with 77 portages.

As you traverse the tender-stem fields, you have some fantastic views of Wilton Windmill, as it stands out clearly on the horizon in all its glory.
