Wiltshire is brimming with ancient archaeological sites, bustling market towns and historic buildings revealing a fascinating past. The county's wide green valleys and chalk downlands are scattered with mysterious evidence of our pre-historic ancestors - most famously the iconic stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury, shrouded in myth and legend.
The idyllic Wiltshire countryside is perfect for exploring by bike or on foot - spot giant white horses carved into the chalk hillsides and stumble across delightful little villages such as Lacock for a glimpse of country life un-altered in many years.
You could visit some of England's most impressive stately homes and gardens such as Stourhead - a Palladain mansion with breathtaking grounds, or Longleat - a fantastic Elizabethan country house set in 900 acres of gardens and safari park!
Salisbury is teeming with historic treasures and its impressive cathedral boasts the tallest spire in England. Visit the town of Swindon for great retail options and the brilliant STEAM museum, dedicated to the Great Western Railway.
