Westbury is a former market town in the far west of Wiltshire under the north western edge of Salisbury Plain, 4 miles south of Trowbridge and 4 miles north of Warminster. Westbury was a centre of the cloth industry from the later 15th century until the 19th century. Malting was another important industry. There are now a number of large industrial and trading estates around the town with many residents working there. The town is an important junction point on the railway network with the Reading to Taunton line intersecting the line from Bristol to Southampton.
