Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Wiltshire If a man set out by the great West Gate from Winchester, the old capital of England, and follow the Roman road westward, as he may still do, for the most part easily enough, over hill, over dale, through copse and ford, he will come in the twilight at the end of a long day's march upon a vast ancient mound, a huge and stony encampment, on the southern edge of the great lonely upland we call Salisbury Plain spread out as far as the eye can reach, north, east and west before him. This earthwork, standing there in a solitude only matched in the sky, once beautiful with turf and dark with trees and undergrowth, holy by reason of its beauty and its age, and, as one might have thought, inviolate, contains, as we may think, the roots and the foundations of the old city of Sorbiodunum and is known, and rightly, as Old Sarum; for it was the mother of the beautiful and shining city of Salisbury which lies, exquisitely visible, marked and ennobled by the famous and lovely spire of its Cathedral, in the valley to the south. If the county of Wiltshire, amorphous as it is in character, has any common centre, hallowed by age and imposed by long tradition: this is it.

Download or read book Wiltshire written by Edith Olivier and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This "landscape of the uplands" has been described as "an ocean of rolling grass"; and, with its distinct and yet unaccented separateness, it looks like the green eye of England.' Originally compiled by the near-blind Olivier in 1945-1946 and posthumously published three years after her death in 1951 by her niece Rosemary, Wiltshire is acknowledged as a credible early travel guide in which the county is truly brought to life. In Wiltshire, Edith Olivier paints a vivid portrait of her beloved homeland, describing in minute detail its history, character, towns and villages, people, landscape, customs and traditions. Dating back to the time of the Saxon invasions through to the birth of a modern, pre-war Wiltshire, and covering such vast subjects as its royal entertainments, sports and leisure pursuits, dialect, architecture and the collections contained within its great country houses, Olivier clearly depicts the personality and landscape of Wiltshire. Drawing on extensive research and containing entertaining anecdotes about famous historical figures travelling through the county, including Henry VIII and Shakespeare, as well as tales of highway robberies and early theories behind the origins of Stonehenge, Olivier has crafted a warm and informative account of a bygone era. Edith became mayor of Wilton in 1939 and her love of the place is clearly depicted in this great work.

Book excerpt: An English Experience: Exploring the Backroads and Byways of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Hampshire, by Marge D. Hansen, can be described as a companion travel book, AND an armchair travel book. Charming, historically rich, architecturally opulent villages begging to be explored are hidden in the countryside within a few hours drive from London. This small, slim, easy-to-pack-and-carry book serves to enhance a journey to the English countryside. It features villages along the sandy coast and fertile fields of Hampshire, delves into the history and ancient mysteries of Wiltshire, and reveals Gloucestershire?s less visited Cotswold jewels. This book fills a niche for the knowledgeable traveler who wants to experience living history and discover the unexpected?enlightenment as well as adventure.The book is a collection of 15 unique ?descriptive pieces.? Each chapter is divided into four sections: The Tale details an original story about a chosen site ? an ancient church, inn, pub, manor or stately home, castle or fortress, local point of interest ? or person associated with a specific village. A variety of narratives such as historical insights, chilling ghost tales, humorous anecdotes, interpretations of legends and myths are written to appeal to a diverse readership. The Village Today provides a vivid portrait of the village as it is today and describes sites to see and places to visit that relate to ?the tale? the reader has just enjoyed. Finding the Village offers driving directions to the village and specifies major roadways, smaller routes, and landmarks along the way. Nearby Places of Interest invites readers to expand their travel horizons and visit other attractions near the destination village.
