More about this scene
THE BEAUTY of the area round Westbury, which stands on the western edge of Salisbury Plain, has remained unspoilt for centuries. The town's identity is linked to the magnificent white horse cut into the chalk hillside, a landmark which guides the traveller. The economic growth of the town and district has depended over the centuries on agriculture, especially sheep farming, the wool trade, glove-making and leather work, iron work, and cement production. More recently light engineering and commercial enterprises have become part of the business park developments. In nearby Westbury Leigh, part of the parish of Westbury, cloth mills and weavers' cottages remind us of its past.
