About  Wiltshire   

The typical English countryside, described by so many of England’s great composers. When one thinks of Wiltshire the images which spring most readily to mind are the spacious rolling down land of Salisbury Plain and associations with pre-history which are at their most stunning at Avebury and Stonehenge. The Marlborough Downs will reinforce this picture of sweeping chalk down land and ancient times. Here, there is also the handiwork of more recent history, in the famous Wiltshire White Horses. There are now eight of them and they have their own newly opened long distance path, 'The White Horse Trail'. The Vale of Pewsey and Savenake Forest, part of the Kennet District, offer a complimentary landscape which also has many enjoyable walking opportunities; and the Kennet and Avon canal, joining the two rivers, provides delightful waterside rambling through peaceful rural countryside.

A rural county where folk music and Barn Dance Bands have a strong footing. English folk tunes were drawn upon by many English composers for inspiration, as were the Ceilidh Band melodies.
