TIMELESS WondersIf you stand on Salisbury Plain at sunrise or sunset it’s easy to understand why the ancient Britons believed Stonehenge was special, and even today people from across the globe make the pilgrimage here. Outstanding exhibition galleries at the Stonehenge visitor centre set the stone circle in its historic context.
At Avebury, where the great stone circle forms a huge ring enclosing part of the village, misty mornings can be magical. The wider landscape surrounding both monuments is home to numerous other ancient structures, so here you can truly touch the past. West Kennet Long Barrow is one of Britain’s largest Stone Age burial sites, while the origins of Silbury Hill, the largest man-made mound in Europe, are lost in the mists of time.
Among Wiltshire’s other iconic sights are its White Horses carved into the rolling chalk downs.
Salisbury Cathedral offers one superlative after another and the awesome sight of its spire soaring a breathtaking 123 metres (404 feet) into the air never fails to impress. Within the Cathedral’s Chapter House you’ll find an exhibition showcasing the best preserved of four original 1215 Magna Carta manuscripts. For an unforgettable experience, a Tower Tour leads you up narrow, winding staircases to the foot of the spire, 225 feet above ground where you can enjoy panoramic views across Salisbury.

Whether your ideal break is calming, comforting, refreshing, or bursting with high adrenalin excitement, Wiltshire is the perfect antidote to overcrowded cities.
Our thriving arts scene is as inventive as it is engaging. Top quality venues include the South West’s leading producing theatre, a music centre with ‘the finest acoustic outside London’, plus cinemas, arts centres and more. Our range of events is equally exciting, encompassing street theatre and dance, classical, jazz and world music, as well as carnivals, fairs, street and folk festivals.
You can team up with a local guide to discover tales of mystery, myth and legend, or try your hand at falconry, fishing or golf; pony trekking or a canal boat trip; a skydive or hot air balloon flight; a treasure hunt or off-road driving experience. If the weather throws a spanner in the works there are ample indoor activities to choose from too, from spas and cookery schools to escape games, go karting and laser combat.
Wiltshire has taken centre stage in a wide range of big screen and TV productions, from swashbuckling adventures to Jane Austen classics. Most recently, Wiltshire locations have featured in Downton Abbey, Poldark, Wolf Hall, War Horse and some of the Harry Potter films. Lacock, Castle Combe, Corsham, Stourhead and Great Chalfield Manor are among the filmmakers favourites and well worth a visit.
Peaceful, relaxed and unhurried the shopping streets of Salisbury and many historic Wiltshire towns are home to a wealth of independent retailers, as well as colourful markets and top notch designer outlets. We also pride ourselves on the quality of our food and drink, making the most of delicious local produce and keeping traditional specialities alive, with plenty of coffee shops, tearooms, pubs and restaurants around the county. For something a little different, why not follow the Saints and Sinners heritage trail, which twins four of the county’s historic churches with nearby pubs and hotels: visitchurches.org.uk/saintsandsinnerswiltshire

Skydiving over Salisbury Plain is the experience of a lifetime and one you will never forget. Imagine an experience that puts your senses into overdrive. One that has your heart racing, the adrenaline pumping. And that leaves you so ecstatic you want to scream out loud. A tandem skydive is the ultimate adrenaline rush. When you jump out of a plane at 10-15,000 feet, you’re putting your trust in a total stranger. Literally throwing yourself into the unknown. Freefalling at 125mph is an experience like nothing on earth. Beyond exhilarating, it defies description. The only way to understand it is to do it.
GoSkydive is a specialist tandem skydiving centre, fully regulated by and affiliated with the British Parachute Association. We specialise in customer focussed tandem skydiving days and over 14,000 people have jumped with us. Skydiving from an altitude of 10,000ft gives you approximately 25-30 seconds of freefall time. For a pulse-racing 60 seconds of freefall choose the 15,000ft skydive – it’s the UK’s highest!

Almost half the county’s landscape lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the gentle meadows of the Pewsey Vale to wilder expanses of upland, the North Wessex Downs is a nationally protected landscape. So too is Cranborne Chase and the West Wiltshire Downs, which stretches in a giant undulating swathe across the south of the county. Parts of north and west Wiltshire lie within the Cotswolds, where honey-coloured villages meld seamlessly into rolling hills. Acres of ancient woodland can be found in the Savernake Forest and on the borders of the New Forest National Park. And at the heart of the county lies the vast, untouched expanse of Salisbury Plain.
Miles of ancient drove roads and quiet country lanes make exploring Wiltshire a pleasure. Travelling under your own steam gives you time to appreciate Wiltshire’s beautiful and varied landscape and with over 8,200 paths for walkers and cyclists our countryside might
well have been invented with outdoor pursuits in mind.
Wiltshire is blessed with an outstanding array of walks, offering something for all levels of enthusiasm. Follow in the footsteps of the ancient drovers, meander through our market towns or amble along the towpath of the Kennet & Avon Canal. Walk the Wansdyke, roam along the Ridgeway or tackle the Thames Path.
Seasoned experts, enthusiastic amateurs and nervous newbies alike will find plenty of on- and off-road cycle routes to suit their level of ability too, from short hops to long-distance trails. Whichever you follow, you’ll find new stories around every corner.
Today life is hectic. Too hectic. We’re all so busy. 24/7 this, 4G that. Forever rushing around. Time poor. Wiltshire is calming, comforting, refreshing. So escape to Wiltshire and let Wiltshire put back what the rest of the week takes out.
Easy to explore, yet off the beaten track, Wiltshire is one of Britain’s best kept secrets. It’s 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. See how the light changes the texture of the hills and think of others admiring the same spectacle over thousands of years.

Immortalised in the paintings of Turner and Constable the medieval city of Salisbury, is the perfect fusion of ancient and modern. If you pause on the edge of the water-meadows to take in the awesome sight of the Cathedral rising up from these lush green fields, it’s easy to understand why this has been described as ‘Britain’s Best View’ by
Wiltshire has been a special place for a very long time and our World Heritage Site stands testament to the ages. Stonehenge and Avebury have a magnetism that has drawn people to them for centuries. Wiltshire is also rolling green downs, ancient woodlands and bustling market towns. Parish churches, historic houses and country inns. Timeless monuments and contemporary luxury. Arts and culture, festivals and events. Local ales and picnics in the park. In short, the England you love in one county.

readers of Country Life magazine. And Wiltshire has many other historic towns and villages to discover too. Friendly, relaxed and welcoming, each has something unique to offer, whether it be stylish independent shops and colourful markets, tempting pubs and restaurants, or great entertainment.
With archaeology collections of outstanding national importance, our museums are the perfect places to unearth the secrets of our journey through time. But history in Wiltshire is not only ancient. Later civilisations also left their mark, bequeathing tangible connections with the past, including a clutch of impressive castles. In centuries past, railways and canals were vital to Wiltshire’s prosperity, as was the textile industry, and Wiltshire’s industrial heritage can be experienced today at towns and attractions around the county.
Through the ages the drama and majesty of Wiltshire’s landscape has offered the perfect backdrop for the homes of the privileged and wealthy. These magnificent stately homes frame stories that bring the history of
England to life. What’s more, they come complete with equally outstanding surroundings, from acres of landscaped parkland to intimate formal and informal gardens making them the perfect places to step back in time whilst enjoying the present.
300th Anniversary ‘CAPABILITY’ BROWN 2016 sees the 300th anniversary of the birth of master landscaper Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. At Bowood he created a flowing mix of woodlands and lawns sloping down to a lake, a fitting setting for the impressive 18th century house designed by Robert Adam. The extensive grounds at Longleat also owe their magnificence to his ground-breaking vision, while the 16th century house is an outstanding example of high Elizabethan architecture.
