Holiday Cottages in Wiltshire
UK Holiday Cottages
Wiltshire gets millions of visitors every year eager to see famous sights such as Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge and Old Sarum, and the lesser-known attractions, secret locations and the hidden histories of the towns and villages. Wiltshire once housed more priceless art than any other place in the world as collections from the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum were quietly moved to vast storage rooms in the old stone quarries of Westwood during the Blitz in the Second World War. The grounds of Clare House have the only UK building designed by Chinese architect I.M. Pei, the man behind the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris. There are many delightful and fascinating pubs and inns in Wiltshire with The Haunch of Venison said to be the oldest pub in Salisbury dating from 1320.
