Welcome To Bulkington Village Website
Bulkington, Wiltshire is a quiet farming village on the edge of Salisbury Plain close to the market towns of Devizes and Trowbridge, and a short distance from the beautiful town of Marlborough. The world renowned cities of Bath, to the west, and Salisbury, to the south, are both a forty minute drive.
For many years a well kept secret, this lovely area of Wessex benefits hugely from its local geology with chalk downland and clay vales. The iconic White Horses at Westbury and Cherhill, the tranquil Vale of Pewsey and, of course, the world heritage site of Stonehenge, are all within east striking distance.
Here you will find information about our village community, the services on offer, everything on the work of our Parish Council, a wealth of Bulkington Village History and all kinds of other useful local information.
THE CHURCHYARD QUIET SPACE - WE MADE A GOOD START!
Today a few villagers made a start on transforming the triangle of land at the back of the churchyard into a tranquil space. Many different varieties of bulbs - crocuses, daffodils, snowdrops, & grape hyacinths - were planted, along with many wild flower seeds. If you couldn’t manage to come today but feel able to add something at another time your contributions would be most welcome. There is a rough path around the edge of the space so most of today’s bulbs and seeds were sown in the middle circle. A few cyclamen were also planted under the hedge separating this area from the churchyard.
In due course it is hoped to add one or two benches so that anyone who wishes can make use of what will hopefully be a beautiful quiet space. In today’s warm sunshine it was easy to appreciate what a welcome addition this could be to the churchyard and the village.
Thank you for your support.
Bulkington Bonfire Night
A great night was had by all who attended our Bonfire & Fireworks evening. We would especially like to thank Simon Downey and his team for the brilliantly organised display, and all others who helped make this event a great one.
Very many thanks to all those who bought raffle tickets, donated and generally supported this event. All funds raised through the Raffle went to the Recreational Ground Committee to invest in future events and the upkeep of the Recreational Ground.
