Life in Wiltshire

The “Gateway to the South West” and part of ancient Wessex, Wiltshire is a county of contrasts, where strong traditions sit happily with a forward-facing culture and economy.

At first glance, you might think Wiltshire’s all about the past - a beautiful, comparatively unspoilt county - from Stonehenge to Salisbury Cathedral - Wiltshire’s heritage is iconic. And its natural beauty – the Marlborough Downs, the Wylye Valley – is equally impressive.

But that’s only half the story.

This is a dynamic, modern economy, where the rural tradition sits side by side with ventures like James Dyson’s futuristic factory at Malmesbury and the Virgin Mobile Call Centre at Trowbridge. There’s something for everyone – from quiet country walks to racing circuits and a vibrant night-life!

And that’s why Wiltshire will be as good a place to live tomorrow as it was yesterday.
