A predominately rural county, almost half of Wiltshire falls within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge to the Salisbury cathedral, the ruined Old Wardour castle to the white horses of the chalk downs, there is a lot to see in Wiltshire — but the beauty of the surroundings is matched by good transport and leisure amenities, like trains and cinemas, as well as excellent schools and reasonable house prices. Choose from small rural villages with an old country pub or two, an old market town like Marlborough, or a larger historical city like Salisbury.
