Welcome to Highway

Highway Wiltshire is a major road in the county of Wiltshire, England. It runs from the town of Chippenham in the north to the city of Salisbury in the south, covering a distance of approximately 35 miles. The road is an important transport link for the region, connecting several towns and villages along the way. It is also a popular route for tourists, as it passes through some of the most picturesque countryside in the county.

The road was originally built in the 18th century as a turnpike road, and was later upgraded to a dual carriageway in the 1960s. Today, it is a busy road that carries a high volume of traffic, particularly during peak hours. Despite this, the road is generally well-maintained and has a good safety record. There are several service stations and rest areas along the route, providing drivers with a chance to take a break and refuel.

One of the highlights of Highway Wiltshire is the stunning scenery that can be seen along the way. The road passes through the rolling hills and lush green fields of the Wiltshire countryside, with views of the iconic Stonehenge monument in the distance. There are also several historic towns and villages that can be explored along the route, including the charming market town of Devizes and the picturesque village of Amesbury. Overall, Highway Wiltshire is a vital transport link for the region, as well as a popular tourist destination in its own right.
