What's on in Crofton

Crofton in Wiltshire is a quiet spot where you can watch some very large engines turn without needing to shout at them. The Crofton Beam Engines have been chugging away for years and offer a proper mechanical lesson that keeps children still while adults nod along. It is rare to find such a solid piece of history right on your doorstep, and it certainly beats sitting indoors watching the rain. There are plenty of other activities nearby if you fancy a change of pace or just want to stretch your legs. Local groups often organise walks through the surrounding countryside, so you can get some fresh air without driving halfway across the county. Near Here keeps all these local options in one place so you do not have to hunt for ideas on a rainy afternoon.
