Moving to Wiltshire?

Home to Britain’s most iconic landmark, Stonehenge, Wiltshire has, unsurprisingly, an ancient feel to it. Its Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age inhabitants built all over the hills and down lands, including the avenue of monoliths at Avebury and a hill fort at Old Sarum that was used by Native Britons until the Saxon conquest in 552. In the 8th century, the Saxons founded the town of Wilton, which was the site of an important battle between King Alfred and the Danes in 871: King Alfred lost, and although he and his descendants fought valiantly for thirty years, England was taken over by the Danish King Canute in 1016.

The county economy was and remains heavily agricultural: the sheep farming industry gave rise to a strong wool trade which continues to this day: Flemish weavers started making the famous Wilton carpets in the 17th century and they are still highly prized. Over the centuries, Wiltshire was the scene of a number of battles: a strong supporter of the Parliamentary cause during the Civil War, it was attacked repeatedly by Royalist forces, who managed to hold Devizes until 1645. After the monarchy was restored, James II fought William and Mary in 1688 at Salisbury, the beginning of the end of his power.

Wiltshire has a temperate climate, generally wetter and milder than the rest of England, with an annual mean temperature of 10 °C rising to around 21 °C in summer. As a number of its top attractions are outdoors, wear a raincoat! As well as the aforementioned ancient sites, Vespasian’s Camp near Amesbury; Silbury Hill, the largest artificial mound in Europe; and Durrington Walls, the remains of a British village, are all fascinating. The artefacts found in these and many other places are exhibited at the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum. Salisbury Plain, high and bleak, is mostly inaccessible, used either for arable farming or by the British Army. The views from the top are staggering but be careful not to wander into a firing range by mistake…

Salisbury itself is very pretty, dominated by the great grey beauty of Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral contains the best preserved of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta and a large mechanical clock installed in 1386 – the oldest surviving mechanical clock in Britain. Cathedral Close is still and timeless, an almost supernaturally peaceful haven in the middle of the bustling city surrounded by the 14th century city wall. In the 15th century the Market Place was dotted with stone crosses marking what was sold there: the poultry cross still remains, now adorned by 18th century flying buttresses. The Haunch of Venison pub overlooking the market has been going since the 14th century: one of its curiosities is a mummified hand, supposedly severed during a game of cards there.

Nearby Wilton is home to the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, designed by Sir Thomas Wyatt in 1841 and featuring a 105 ft high campanile. Wilton House is the home of the Earl of Pembroke, built on the ruins of Saxon Wilton Abbey. Longleat is the most celebrated stately home in Wiltshire: the Elizabethan manor house is surrounded by 900 acres of parkland landscaped by Capability Brown and a safari park. Stourhead House is a Palladian Mansion which has a Temple to Apollo in the garden. Cotswold Water Park is the largest in the UK and consists of 133 lakes formed by allowing old quarries to fill with water. The water sports include water skiing and wind surfing, and bird watchers love the sheer variety of bird species who make their home here.
