Coming from Westbury
Westbury is best known for its white horse, the oldest in Wiltshire, cut into the slope below Bratton Camp.
An hour and a quarter is far. We would say come for the Masterclass and make the day of it, or book a private class with friends and share the driving.
We will be honest: 75 minutes is a drive. Classes run Tuesday to Thursday, so make a day of it with the Masterclass and a walk by the Thames. Private groups from Westbury can ask about other days.
