    Royal Wootton Bassett Facts
    Did you know…

    1. Royal
      ‘Royal’ status was bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II in 2011 “as an enduring symbol of the nation’s admiration and gratitude” for the respect shown by locals, who would line the route used to transport service personnel killed overseas and repatriated via the nearby RAF base.
    2. Royal II
      Only two other towns have ‘Royal’ status, can you name them…?
      Royal Leamington Spa, Royal Tonbridge Wells. Two London boroughs have also been made ‘Royal’, Greenwich and Kensington & Chelsea.
    3. Motto
      It was the local branch of the Royal British legion that started the tradition of lining the repatriation route. In 2011 the town changed its motto to, ‘We honour those who serve’. The route is no longer used.
    4. Abbey Every After
      Wodeton as it was originally called, meaning ‘place in the wood’ place in the wood’, was recorded in and Anglo-Saxon Charter of 681 CE when, like many towns, it was gifted to the church, and became the property of Malmesbury Abbey.
    5. Attack!
      In 1015 it was sacked by Vikings. The low-lying town made it an easy target, so the survivors moved the town to a higher position, where the high street now stands.
    6. 9 Quid
      In 1086 the town was recorded in the Domesday Book and worth the princely sum of £9.
    7. Glorious Mud
      A Site of Special Scientific Interest, Wootton Bassett Mud Spring covers an area of 8,000m². The springs (there are several over the site) ‘ooze’ hot and cold mud, that are rich in minerals.
    8. Jurassic Park
      The springs have also produced iridescent fossils, some dating back to the last Jurassic Age.

    About

    Royal Wootton Bassett is best known for its links to RAF Lyneham and received its ‘royal’ status in recognition for the respects shown by the locals to the repatriation of fallen service personnel passing through the town.

    There are a wealth of independent shops, weekly and monthly markets, great transport links and miles of beautiful countryside with both the North Wessex and Cotswolds Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty within easy reach.

    Leisure

    History buffs can learn all about the town’s past at the local museum. Foodies can get their fix at the weekly market as well as a monthly farmers market which also attracts vintage goods and quirky finds.

    An annual arts festival and other town events through the year bring locals together. Just outside the town lies the Jubilee Lake, surrounded by ancient woodlands and wetlands, it’s a wonderful spot to explore and enjoy nature.

    If you prefer to exercise indoors there’s a leisure centre with a gym, swimming pool, sports hall and fitness classes for all ages.
