Nowhere else in England can match the concentration of iconic
sites found in Wiltshire. For thousands of years, travelers have
marvelled at their grandeur and magic. Now, it’s your turn to
explore these wonders and experience that same sense of
awe by following the Great West Way®. Roughly a quarter of
this touring route, stretching from London to Bristol, winds
through the breathtaking landscape of Wiltshire. Follow ancient
paths once trodden by druids, pilgrims, and drovers. Traverse
lush river valleys, rolling chalk hills, ancient woodlands, and
picturesque towns and villages. For more details, refer to
pages 20-23 of this guide or visit GreatWestWay.co.uk
Wiltshire is a realm of timeless wonders, places, pleasures,
and nature. Witness morning mists curling around

Salisbury Cathedral. Explore grand historic houses nestled
in ‘Capability’ Brown parkland and museums brimming

local produce from farmers’ markets, and partake in
authentic festivals and events. Revel in big skies, undulating
downland, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
When life becomes a bit too fast-paced, take a deep breath.
Pause and observe your surroundings. For generations, Wiltshire
has been calming and inspiring visitors. A weekend (or longer!)
here will replenish what the everyday hustle takes away.
