Warminster
Dating from Saxon times, Warminster is situated to the south west of Salisbury Plain, at the head of the enchantingly beautiful Wylye Valley with its attractive villages and impressive landscape.
Situated beneath the chalk downland, with its abundant flora and fauna, it lies on the edge of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The town boasts many historic attractions as well as nature trails, meadows and grassy marshlands. All of these provide plenty of opportunities for cycling and walking activities, as well as water sports at the nearby Shearwater Lake.
It is also the nearest town to Longleat - home of the UK's first ever Safari Park...
... and one of Britain's most impressive examples of high Elizabethan architecture.
Warminster has, for many years, had very close links with the military and is still considered an important military centre.
