Helen ChristieLocated in South West England, Wiltshire is a ceremonial county bordering Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Somerset.
Wiltshire is known for its pre-Roman archaeology, and Stonehenge, one of the most famous Neolithic sites in the country, is located in Wiltshire. Although a largely rural county, Wiltshire is well connected, with the A4, A303, A350, A417 and the M4 motorway running through the county. There are three main passenger railway routes, and 14 stations within the county, connecting residents to Swindon, Chippenham, Bradford-on-Avon, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Salisbury, Warminster and Tisbury. There are also two navigable inland waterways, the River Thames and the Kennet and Avon Canal.
There are a number of housebuilders building new homes around the country…
