Wilton, located a mere three miles west of Salisbury, finds its roots buried deep in the annals of English history. Trace its lineage back to the Anglo-Saxon era and witness Wilton evolve as the pivotal county town of Wiltshire until 1889. Known for its carpet manufacturing since the 18th century, the town still buzzes with the hum of its industrious past. Wilton House, a grand stately home that stands as a living testament to the town's affluence, is a favoured hotspot amongst tourists.

Cradled by the rivers Wylye and Nadder, the town boasts of a history soaked in religious relevance with the founding of Wilton Abbey in 771. Its significance reduced following the dissolution of the Abbey and the construction of Salisbury Cathedral, but its charm remains untouched. Though the railway stations have shut their doors to the roaring engines, a network of bus routes and a Park & Ride service ensure that Wilton remains an accessible pearl in Wiltshire's crown.

When to visit Wilton

Wilton, with its mild English weather, welcomes visitors through the year. But to bask in the true beauty of this historic town, the warm and pleasant days of June to September are ideal for a family excursion. During these months, the stately Wilton House, the lush parks, and the vibrant town centre come alive in a spectacle of colour and bustle.

Spring and Autumn also cast a lovely veil over the vistas, framing Wilton in hues of blossoming flowers or pastel fall foliage. If you don't mind the chill, January presents a picturesque blanket of frost, lending the town an ethereal beauty. With mostly sunny days in September, Wilton promises an unforgettable travel experience, no matter when you choose to visit.
