The real riches of Wiltshire

Wiltshire and the surrounding plain of central southern England probably one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas of the world.

In my last post, I mentioned the "riches" of Witshire. In truth, these are not the Bentley showrooms of the place, but the archaelogical sites spread around the plains and downs of England.

(By the way, the word "downs" simply means a land with lots of small hills (i.e. a land that goes up and down)).

These archaeological sites include Avesbury (the lesser known cousin of Stonehenge), Stonehenge itself, and, to me the best one -- the Wiltshire (Uffington) White Horse, and the associated Weyland Smithy.

I'll talk about Avesbury and Stonehenge in a later post. However, the Wiltshire White Horse first.
