Publisher's Synopsis
Wiltshire is one of the largest counties in southern England and has a wide variety of landscapes, from river valleys lined with picturesque villages to the expanses and open skies of Salisbury Plain. It is also a vibrant county where things have changed regularly. In keeping up with the times, though, it has kept much of what is best about its past, and much of the county's charm comes from features that can seem changeless. Individual chapters cover towns, villages, life in Wiltshire and some of the many historic sites, while the subjects vary from familiar towns and cities such as Salisbury, Trowbridge and Marlborough, historic spots such as Castle Combe and Bradfordon- Avon, to a wide variety of the villages of the county and even some views that have been 'lost' over the past century.
