Westbury, Market town and civil parish in western Wiltshire, England

Located beneath the northwestern edge of Salisbury Plain, Westbury extends across a valley with chalk downlands forming its natural boundaries at 51.26°N latitude.

The settlement appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Westberie, a royal manor, and maintained its borough status from 1442 until 1886.

The All Saints Church, constructed between 1340 and 1380, features Norman architecture and holds the third heaviest set of eight bells worldwide.

The railway station connects to London, Wales, and South West England, while the A350 road provides direct access to the M4 motorway network.

The Westbury White Horse, carved into the chalk hillside in the 18th century, received a concrete restoration in 1778 and remains visible across the valley.
