The Barge Inn at Honeystreet, a Grade II listed pub built in 1858 beside the Kennet and Avon Canal for canal workers, serves real ales, has rooms and a campsite, and hosts live music on Saturdays. For a supermarket and other everyday needs, residents head to Pewsey or Devizes. The village school closed in 1976, so the nearest primary is Woodborough Church of England Primary School, with Pewsey Vale School the nearest secondary. Paths climb from the village to the White Horse, Milk Hill and Adam's Grave, the Wansdyke earthwork crosses the north of the parish, and the canal towpath offers flat walks and cycling in both directions.
Alton Barnes, Alton Priors and the canalside hamlet of Honeystreet form the parish of Alton, created in 1934 when Alton Barnes and Alton Priors merged. The Alton Barnes White Horse, cut into the hillside in 1812, is the third largest white horse in Wiltshire, and Milk Hill to the north, at 295 metres, is the highest point in the county, with Adam's Grave, a Neolithic long barrow, and the prehistoric earthworks of Knap Hill close by. St Mary's Church in Alton Barnes is partly Saxon and Grade I listed, while All Saints at Alton Priors is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. Honeystreet's wharf once supported a barge-building trade that lasted into the 1950s, and housing is mostly cottages, farmhouses and period homes.
Pewsey station is the nearest, with Great Western Railway trains to London Paddington roughly every two hours off-peak. Country lanes lead to Pewsey, Devizes and over the downs towards Marlborough.
