'The Gateway to the West Country and enigmatic county of Stonehenge, Avebury,
White Horses and Crop Circles.
The County of chalk and cheese - its upper chalk downlands contrasting with the
agricultural valleys of the Pewsey Vale and the northern and western areas of
the county.
Salisbury Plain and the Marlborough Downs contain some of the most important
archaelogical sites in North West Europe and are home to the Joint World
Heritage sites of Avebury and Stonehenge
In the valleys are many 'picture postcard' villages including Castle Combe and
Lacock, situated in the Wiltshire Cotswolds and favorites of international film
directors. Lacock Abbey featured in the recent Harry Potter film.
The beautiful medieval City of Salisbury, its wonderful Gothic Cathedral being
the tallest medieval church in Europe, and the World Heritage Georgian City of
Bath, just over the county's northern border, are two of the most visited
cities in the country.
If it is walking, history, archaeological, architecture or culture which
interests
you then come, pay us a visit.
Alternatively you may wish to make one of the counties market towns-Devizes,
Marlborough, Warminster or Malmesbury- a focal point for investigating the
South and South West of England.
