TIMELESS NATURE
Wiltshire is an enchanted place where you feel close to the earth and the ever-changing big skies.
The landscape’s mood alters with the seasons, connecting you not just to nature, but to time
itself. Sit on the downs at sunrise or sunset, see how the light changes the texture of the hills, and
think of others admiring the same spectacle over thousands of years.

Welcome to the Great West Way. A new 125-mile touring route combining the world-renowned
with the yet-to-be-discovered. At one end is London with its famous royal sights and rich
cultural heritage; at the other, Bath and Bristol. In between lie relaxing riverside towns, lush
green landscapes, and characterful villages. But there’s so much more to the Great West Way
than simply getting from A to B. The Great West Way is for those who relish the journey.

  Around a quarter of the Great West Way runs through Wiltshire. Along routes that brought druids
  to Stonehenge. Drovers to market. Pilgrims to Salisbury Cathedral. Across rolling hillsides in the
  North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and past white horse carvings
  that have watched over the Vale of Pewsey for generations.

  As well as Stonehenge and Avebury, your             McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Swindon,
