Stonehenge from a short distance

Locations

Wiltshire is a place where people love to be. England’s fourth largest unitary council, it offers beautiful landscapes, diverse heritage and attractive towns and villages. Together, they are home to a population of nearly 510,000, including 30,000 military personnel. Most places have fewer than 10,000 residents, except for Salisbury – the county’s only city. Head out into the countryside and you’ll find Stonehenge and Avebury, our two world heritage sites. They are the crowning glory of our scenic county, half of which is classified as an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.
