Warminster
Welcome to Warminster
WARMINSTER is
one of England's most important military centres and has earned fame too for
its close proximity to one of the most splendid Tudor stately homes, Longleat
House, owned by Britain's most colourful aristocrat, Lord Bath.
 Warminster
is a town to the south of Wiltshire, which in the past became a popular market
town due to its ideal position on two main roads. The two roads, between Bristol
and Southampton and between Bridgewater and London, were two of the most important
avenues of transport to and from the West Country until this century.
The town has an attractive park with boating lake, and just down the road
is Shearwater, long a favourite beauty spot with locals and tourists alike.
The attractions of Longleat are world famous, especially the safari park,
but more recently the facilities of the Longleat Forest Centre Parcs Holiday
Village have been attracting many new visitors to the area.
Nestling in 500 acres of woodland the village's tropical paradise under a
huge dome is striking against the sweeping chalk downland. Warminster acts
as a centre for many attractive villages, and in recent years the area has
become a popular area with visitors who appreciate the unspoilt charm of this
tranquil part of Wiltshire.
The town is well placed as touring bases for visiting some of Britain's best
known landmarks like Stonehenge, the Roman Baths at Bath, Glastonbury Tor
and Salisbury Cathedral.
