Countryside, parks and open spaces
Wiltshire is a large, predominantly rural, inland county covering approximately 3,255 square kilometres. Its countryside is special in every respect, with internationally important heritage, treasured landscapes and an abundance of wildlife. An extensive network of rights of way, country parks, nature reserves and open spaces allow residents and visitors alike to take advantage of what the Wiltshire countryside has to offer.
Wiltshire Council's aim is to protect and conserve Wiltshire's countryside heritage and provide facilities, access and opportunities for people to enjoy it.
