LOCATION: The village of Pitton forms part of the Pitton and Farley Parish which lies some four miles to the east of the cathedral city of  Salisbury. Surrounded by rolling countryside the village offers a range of facilities including a general store and Post Office, thriving village hall, sports fields and tennis courts and a well-regarded local Inn, The Silver Plough. The village church, St Peter's, in its original form predates Salisbury Cathedral, although most of the current structure dates from around 1860. The award winning Pitton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, just off the village centre, is hugely popular and extremely well regarded. Neighbouring communities include the villages of Farley, The Winterslows, Tytherley and Firsdown. Salisbury offers a more comprehensive range of recreational
amenities, shopping facilities, an historic market and a wide range of schooling, both state and private, including two grammar schools and a college of further education. Salisbury has a mainline railway station, also stopping at Grateley, serving London, Waterloo and the West Country. Although a rural environment, access to the M3 and M25 is easily obtained via the A303 to the north east and to Southampton via the A36/M27 to the south.
