About Tour Wiltshire

What began as a tidy online scrapbook of my photographs, taken since I moved to Wiltshire more than ten years ago and sorted during the pandemic, grew into me wanting to know more about the places that I'd already been to, and go to many of those that I hadn't.

I've never been much of a writer, I prefer a couple of paragraphs to even a couple of pages. Before I was ill-health retired it was commented upon that my reports were short, but I got the job done. However I do like to research and plan. So what may appear in a couple of paragraphs here has easily taken a morning to research before leaving home, I've written, I hope succinctly, for your sake and mine, about what has interested me. I appreciate that I could have given much more information, but I don't apologise for not having done so. The snippets of information don't replace the books that might be found on each place, nor the websites that might go into depth on one subject, these Web pages are 'tasting plates' to kindle a thirst to really discover your choice places for yourself, or, like me, just happily flit from one place to another. Many of the churches were not open when I visited the town or village during the pandemic, that's why internal shots may be missing, sometimes its because access was not disabled friendly (I'm a wheelchair user).

I also don't apologise for using lots of photos, possibly causing slower downloads, this website is primarily photographic, it's intended to show you more than the words tell you. "A picture paints a thousand words...".

I am grateful for online access to several sources of information, no one paragraph has had one source. So thank you to:
Wiltshire Council's Community History - Timeline
Wiltshire Council's Planning Department
British Listed Buildings
Wiltshire Buildings Record
Wiltshire Times
Savills
Wiltshire Council Community History
Witshire Intelligence
and various community websites, venues, home owners.
Google Street View and maps, my wife, for often patiently waiting for me, and our dog, for often patiently waiting for me!
