One of the strands of the River Wylye, looking upstream from one of the bridges carrying North Street. A former county town, Wilton is situated some 2¾ miles west of Salisbury on the confluence of the River Nadder and the River Wylye. The town grew around Wilton Abbey, founded in the 8th century, and was the administrative capital of Wiltshire until the 11th century. The town declined in importance after Salisbury Cathedral was built. The town is renowned for carpet manufacture, which began in 1741 when two French weavers were brought in and a carpet factory continued to operate until 1995. The country estate of Wilton House is an integral part of the town.

The brick pavilion, opened in July 2012, is to the north of the former wooden pavilion which has been demolished.

This playing field has been levelled and re-seeded in recent years. The trees are along a channel of the River Wylye.

The plant is alive even in this lofty and unfriendly place.

Weather vanes, which adorn many public buildings as well as private homes, are one of the oldest methods of weather prediction. Located on the highest point of tall structures and homes, they are a simple device balanced on a rotating axis, designed to indicate the direction of the wind. Weather vanes have a rich and long history, with examples dating to ancient Greece and Rome.

Looking along North Street over the River Wylye on Burden's Ball Bridge. The Grade II Listed bridge ( http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-319268-burden-s-ball-bridge-wilton ) was originally built in the late 18th or early 19th century and was then first widened at the end of the 19th century with replacements done in the 1960's and again in 2010 ( http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/parkingtransportandstreets/roadshighwayspavements/bridges/bridgescurrentlyunderconstruction/structuresscrossandburdensballbridge.htm ). There is a benchmark on the outside of the further buttress (Image).
