WILTSHIRE

What’s
Wiltshire got? More or less the
lot! There’s the huge ‘city’ (it’s
not one yet) of Swindon in the north, once a railway town and the headquarters
of the Great Western. There’s
Salisbury in the south, with the highest Cathedral spire in Britain at 404
feet. There’s a pleasant group of towns like Bradford on
Avon, Melksham and Trowbridge in the west.
There are stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge. There’s Devizes near the centre, with the
matchless flight of 30 Caen Hill locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal, and
Wadworth’s brewery, which not only actually looks like a brewery, but brews
some of the finest ale you can consume.
And there’s Salisbury Plain, upon which many a reluctant National
Serviceman has shivered in his tent far from home on a January night. |
