LOCAL ATTRACTIONS Located at the crossroads of Southern England, The Dundas Arms at Kintbury is only a short hop by road or rail (Kintbury railway station is just the other side of the canal) from many national and local places of interest and entertainment. Oxford (the dreaming spires), Winchester (Cathedral dating from 1079 in the heart of King Alfred's Wessex), Salisbury (Cathedral) and Stonehenge are only around 40 km away and the village is halfway between the capital city of London and Bath (Roman Baths and The Royal Crescent). Locally you may choose to spend a day at the races at the famous Newbury racecourse where there are up to 28 meetings per year, including The Hennessy Gold Cup (www.newbury-racecourse.com) or take in a play at The Watermill Theatre located minutes away in Bagnor, Newbury (www.watermill.org.uk). Also nearby is Highclere Castle, home of The Earls of Carnarvon where tours include the Egyptian Centre in which one can see many artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun. You may even be visiting the area to attend a wedding, receptions for which are often held at Coombe Manor but, whether your motives are business or pure pleasure, you are bound to find something interesting to do while staying at The Dundas.
