Flower Delivery to Manningford Bruce

Manningford Bruce is one of the three settlements that make up the village of Manningford in the Vale of Pewsey in Wiltshire. The village is mostly rural in character and access to each of its settlements is done through narrow lanes. With open spaces and being situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Manningford is a great getaway destination for those who want to experience the countryside and those who love outdoor pursuits.

History

Manningford Bruce is an ancient parish that was merged with neighbouring Manningford Bohune and Manningford Abbots to form the village that’s now called Manningford.

In 1275, Manningford Bruce was known as Manningford Petri for its connection to the FitzPeter family. It was only by 1279 that the settlement was referred to as its current name which was taken from the new lords, the Breuse family.
There is archaeological evidence available to prove that the area was occupied during prehistoric times, specifically from the Neolithic to the Romano-British periods.

Attractions and Activities

All three of the Manningford settlements are long and thin, which is a reflection of the farming practices back in the day. Manningford Bruce as well as the other two settlements are ideal for outdoor pursuits, specifically walking. A number of footpaths and walks are available that provide great views of the surrounding countryside. Not only does the area make for a lovely walk, but it’s great for photographic opportunities as well. There might even be some flowers in Manningford Bruce that you can take photos of.

Walking the countryside is quite the romantic affair which makes Manningford Bruce and the surrounding settlements a suitable getaway destination for couples. While here, you can present your partner with Manningford Bruce flowers at the end of the day’s activities. You can also choose to send flowers to Manningford Bruce if you weren’t able to purchase a bouquet, and that’s something we can help you with.

Fishing is also a great activity in Manningford, particularly at Manningford Bohune where there is a trout fishery. The River Avon feeds into the village of Manningford and its waters provide lots of fish. The fishery is located in the heart of the Vale of Pewsey and is comprised of the Manor Lake, the Squires Lake and the “Catch and Release” Lake which are teeming with brown and rainbow trout.

Single bank fishing is also available on the River Avon.

Getting Out

While staying for the entire weekend getaway in Manningford Bruce is a great idea, there’s so much more to be seen when you step outside its boundaries. Pewsey is about two miles away while the towns of Marlborough and Devizes are a bit farther off – 8 and 9 miles, respectively – but a trip can still be done in a day.
