These gates in Leigh Road lead into the Leighton House estate with a glimpse inside. The Leighton House estate is occupied by the Army Officer Selection Board, an assessment centre used by the British Army as part of the officer selection process for the regular army and Army Reserve. The 40 acre estate comprises the grade II listed, 19th century Leighton House, a trout lake and an assault course where potential officers are put through their paces. The estate is due to be sold for housing in 2024. 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.
