Encompassing three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the Cotswolds, North Wessex Downs and Cranborne Chase), Wiltshire is a gorgeous part of the world to explore. It’s conveniently located for many visitors, bordering Dorset to the southwest, Somerset to the west, Hampshire to the southeast, Gloucestershire to the north, Oxfordshire to the northeast and Berkshire to the east, with the cities of Bath, Bristol and Southampton within easy reach. The county is also home to the landmark standing stone circle that dates back to Neolithic times – Stone Henge – which draws many tourists to marvel at its mystery.
