White Horse Gallery

The White Horse Gallery sits in the heart of Pewsey, a proper working space where local artists actually make and sell their pieces rather than just hanging them on walls. You'll find paintings, prints, jewellery and ceramics - the kind of work that tells you something about the maker. It's refreshingly unpretentious, which suits the Wiltshire landscape it sits in.

This place works best for people who like getting under the skin of a place beyond the tourist trail. Art collectors will spend a good hour poking about, but casual browsers can whip through in twenty minutes. Kids won't necessarily drag their feet here either, depending on their age and patience for smaller galleries.

It's free to walk in and have a look, though obviously you'll want to open your wallet if something catches your eye. The gallery sits within easy reach of some solid camping bases - Totteridge Farm Camping Pods is less than five miles away, as are both Hillview Park and Ridgeway Campsite. All three are highly rated, so you've got proper options for basing yourself in the area.

Pewsey itself is a pleasant enough market town without being a major draw on its own, but combine the gallery with walks across the Wiltshire Downs - which tower nearby - and you've got a decent afternoon sorted. Call ahead to check opening hours before you make the trip, as smaller galleries can be erratic with their schedules.
