📍 Destination Overview
Wiltshire is an inland county in South West England, home to Stonehenge — the 5,000-year-old prehistoric stone circle and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salisbury Plain has more barrows and White Horse hill figures. Salisbury Cathedral has England's tallest spire (123 m) and an original Magna Carta. Longleat House was the first stately home opened to the public, famous for its maze and safari park. Canal paths and White Horse hills are a walker's paradise.
