Chalke Valley. It is the valley that the chalk stream the River Ebble flows through. It is a beautiful valley on the edge of Cranbourne Chase and not surprisingly the West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are a group of pretty villages along the valley. Nice centre for walking.
Grittleton. A little village not far from Chippenham and Bath. Grittleton House is privately owned and is used as an independent school and a venue for events.
Devizes is in the middle of Wiltshire. There is a large green in the centre of the town. It still is a market town but its sights have increased to include a little manufacturing and is a tourism town for the local attractions of Stonehenge, Avebury etc. The town has a rich history and heritage of over a thousand years and there is a Medieval Trail in the town.
Iford Manor is a Grade II listed building near Bradford on Avon. Its Peto Gardens are well known and they are listed Grade I in the National Register of National Parks and Gardens. It lies in the Iford Valley on the Frome River.
Salisbury Racecourse is four miles from Salisbury itself at Netherhampton in a scenic location on the downs overlooking the city. It is one of the oldest flat courses having been around since the sixteenth century.
Amesbury is an attractive town in the Avon river valley close to Stonehenge. The town has its own claim to fame in the prehistoric stakes with the Amesbury Archer who was a bronze age man who was buried in the town before it ever was a town. His grave was an amazing discovery with a large number of important artefacts found with him.
Dinton is in the south of Wiltshire, a village about eight miles from Salisury on the River Nadder. Phillips House was formerly Dinton House and is now owned by the National trust.
Warminster in western Wiltshire. Has been famous for a lot of alleged UFO sightings, particularly in the sixties and seventies. It is a little market town on the edge of Salisbury Plain and the head of the lovely Wylye Valley.
