Wiltshire, Ceremonial county in South West England.
The 3,485-square-kilometer territory contains chalk hills, ancient monuments, and market towns across a predominantly rural landscape between Gloucestershire and Hampshire.
The region holds numerous Neolithic settlements, including Stonehenge and Avebury stone circles, which became UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1986.
Local inhabitants earned the name 'Moonrakers' after smugglers convinced tax collectors they were attempting to collect cheese from a pond.
The county maintains an extensive network of walking paths connecting villages, with direct train services from London Paddington to Swindon and Salisbury.
Salisbury Plain, a chalk plateau covering 780 square kilometers, serves as a military training area and contains the largest concentration of prehistoric sites.
