Wiltshire is a county in South West England and its county town is Trowbridge. It has high downland and wide valleys and is arguably most notable for the Stonehenge and Avebury ancient stone circles found on Salisbury Plain. It also contains a number of well known country houses including Longleat and Stourhead. The landlocked county borders Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Berkshire. Originally Wiltshire's county town was Wilton but the county council is now based in Trowbridge. Salisbury is the county's only city although Swindon, which has five times as many people as Salisbury (around 210,000), is its most populated built-up area.
The M4 is the one motorway going through the county and the main transport hub is Swindon, which has regular direct trains to London Paddington and other major conurbations. The nearest major airport is Southampton.
There are three universities in Wiltshire, all located in Swindon. These are; Cranfield University, a postgraduate-only institution, which has strong links with industry and the business world; the University of the West of England and the University of Bath in Swindon.
Wiltshire has many attractions, some of which are very quirky, including Burlington, a huge nuclear bunker which can accommodate 4,000 people, Longleat Safari Park, the Kennet & Avon Canal Museum in Devizes, the Swindon and Cricklade Railway and Salisbury Cathedral.
Swindon also hosts the Magic Roundabout, which has been voted the UK's scariest road junction.

How long does a RICS Building Survey take?
RICS Surveyors often only have one or two inspections a day to ensure they allocate adequate time to assess a property for its defects and issues.
On average our surveyors will spend two to three hours on a standard sized home to complete the full Level 3 RICS Building Survey, however, this can vary for a number of reasons.
It may be that there has been major works done to the property or a major defect is discovered and requires further investigation or access to all areas of the property is not immediately available. This is why our surveyors do not operate with time constraints – they stay on site as long as they need to complete the full inspection.
Does your property look like this?
A thatch roof is a very particular style for a property and it is important you get a RICS surveyor who has previous experience of surveying thatched roof properties in Salisbury. A Level 3: Building Survey is better suited for this style of property due to the age and style of the property and the surveyor will need to pay special attention to inspecting the current condition of the roof as thatch does deteriorate over time.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
