Stonehenge & more
Wiltshire is home to more prehistoric sites than any other county. Stonehenge is undoubtedly the most famous however nearby Avebury is home to the largest stone circle in Britain. The original circle is over 4600 years old but is now fragmented by roads and buildings.
Woodhenge is a Neolithic site made of concentric ovals of posts and is located near to Stonehenge along with Durrington Walls.
Salisbury Cathedral
Built in the 13th century Salisbury Cathedral is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and boasts the largest cathedral close in Britain. The spire, which was added in 1320 is the tallest cathedral spire in the UK and home to a nesting pair of peregrine falcons.
Inside the cathedral is the only copy of the Magna Carta on permanent display along with the world's oldest mechanical clock. Salisbury Cathedral regularly hosts contemporary art exhibitions.
We highly recommend a visit to Salisbury Cathedral, just 16 miles from West View
Wiltshire's White Horses
Wiltshire's famous white chalk horses are unique to the county. Originally thirteen, now eight of these iconic landmarks remain.
