Wiltshire

Wiltshire is an inland county in South West England, celebrated above all for its extraordinary concentration of prehistoric monuments on the chalk downland of Salisbury Plain. Stonehenge, the world-famous Neolithic and Bronze Age stone circle, and the equally remarkable Avebury stone circle are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites within the county. The landscape is dominated by the high, open chalk plateau of Salisbury Plain, which also contains the largest military training area in the United Kingdom. Salisbury, the county town, is home to a magnificent Early English Gothic cathedral that houses the world's oldest working mechanical clock and one of only four surviving originals of Magna Carta.
