Something about Wiltshire
Wiltshire takes its name from Wilton, near Salisbury. In prehistoric times, the area was one of the most heavily populated in Britain, but it was not widely settled by the Romans, and the basic form of Wiltshire did not emerge until the 10th century.
Wiltshire consists of extensive chalk uplands scattered with prehistoric remains, notably at Avebury and Stonehenge, and interspersed with wide, well-watered valleys.
Famous for
Salisbury Cathedral was built in a uniform Early English style between 1220 and 1320, to replace an older cathedral at Old Sarum, just to the north of Salisbury. Its spire, at 123 m high, is the tallest surviving medieval spire in Europe.
One of the finest Saxon churches in Britain is St Laurence at Bradford on Avon, dating from the 10th century - but it was only rediscovered in 1856, for it had been converted into a school and a cottage and was surrounded by other buildings.
Maud Heath's Causeway near Chippenham, which was built in the 15th century, enabled travellers to walk across the water meadows of the Avon and keep their feet dry; it is over 6 km long.
