Edward VII Post Box, South Brewham

Highlight • Settlement

This lovely little village sits in peaceful surroundings in the Brue Valley. It's split from its sister village, North Brewham, by the River Brue although it only takes minutes to walk between them.

South Brewham has an Edward VII postbox, not something you come across very often. Just on the outskirts of the West Wiltshire Downs, you can enjoy some delightful views from various places in the village.
