Wiltshire Countryside

Wiltshire’s landscape encompasses quintessential scenes, the best of both southern and south-west England. The county has whale-backed chalk hills, exquisite Cotswold villages, England’s finest landscape garden and quirky white horses, together with the world’s largest and most famous stone circles. There is much to delight the photographer here. Yet compared to other parts of the West Country, most of Wiltshire remains relatively little known.

The landscape of Wiltshire is extraordinarily varied. From rolling chalk downs, limestone hills and steep scarps to broad river valleys and fertile greensand vales, there is much to delight the eye. These landscapes have been 200 million years in the making.
