Milford Hall Hotel, Salisbury
Local Attractions
With 6,000 years of history, the Salisbury region is steeped in mysteries and legends along with most of the worldÌs crop circles and the mighty Stonehenge. Now recognised as a World Heritage Site, Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument of unique importance and is surrounded by remains of ceremonial ancient structures, many of which are accessible by road and public footpath. Despite being so accessible from London, the south coast and the west country, Salisbury and South Wiltshire is blessed with beautiful countryside and individual, historic villages and small towns such as Amesbury, Downton and Wilton (home of the Wilton carpet). Much of this region may seem familiar, as some famous films such as Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility" have been filmed on location in Salisbury and South Wiltshire.
