Welcome to Wiltshire
                                                         A very warm welcome to the historic and picturesque County of Wiltshire, renowned throughout
                                                         the world for its mysterious stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury forming a designated
                                                         UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with its white chalk horses, beautiful rolling countryside
                                                         and historic towns and villages.

                                                         In addition to the principal market towns steeped in history and tradition, we have exquisite
                                                         villages and the beautiful City of Salisbury which, having developed and grown from the site of
                                                         an iron age fort about 2,500 years ago, became established as a town in the eleventh century.
                                                         To this day Salisbury cathedral remains home to one of only four surviving copies of the Magna
                                                         Carta, one of the most famous documents in the world dating back over 800 years. This
                                                         document remains a cornerstone of the British Constitution to this day.

                                                         Wiltshire is situated in the South West of England and is easily accessible by motorway, rail
                                                         and air.
