Westbury features [3]
A view across the roundabout on the A3098 to the local shopping centre for Leigh Park, a recent large housing development.
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.

Westbury is most famous for the Westbury White Horse, a large figure on a hill at the edge of Bratton Downs. The horsy theme was used for some of the names in this area. A palomino is a horse with a light golden-brown coat and white or pale mane and tail. A criollo is a small horse bred from South American and Arab stock.
