Advantages: Easy access to everything South West Disadvantages: Not very close to the sea
I have lived in Wiltshire most of my life. It is home to seven White horses and of course the well known Stone Henge. In addition to Stone Henge we have Avebury which is another Stone Phenomena as well as other attractions.
Parts of Wiltshire are situated close to the M4 corridor enabling easy access to London and Wales.
The county is bordered by Somerset, Dorset, Hamphire and Gloucestershire. There are many pretty towns in Wiltshire, Bradford-on-Avon, Malmesbury, Corsham, the city of Salisbury with it's beautiful catherdral and of course historic Lacock with it's Abbey. this has been a very popular venue for filming for period dramas such as Cranford.

Advantages: All of these sites are steeped in history Disadvantages: None at all
There are a grand total of thirteen White chalk horses embedded in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
Before we go on to take a closer look at each of the White horses maybe I will tell you just why I love them so much.
When our children were young the Westbury White Horse was a very popular weekend visiting place, you could bundle the kids into the car, pack a picnic, have just enough petrol in the tank to get there and back and still be sure that it was going to be a good afternoon out. The entrance to the Westbury white horse is via a long, narrow and windy road. But the road does have a number of `passing points`. As the car reaches the brow of the hill there is grass as far as the eye can see.
