Potterne is a leafy village found south of Devizes in central Wiltshire and a pleasant location for a country cottage holiday. The village is aptly named after the numerous springs or pots which are found surrounding the village providing it with a constant supply of water, whatever the weather. It is thought that the village has been inhabited for around 10,000 years, around twice as long as the existence of Stonehenge and is home to some stunning historical buildings even dating back as far as the Middle Ages.
