Portrait Photography
Wiltshire's portrait settings range from some of England's finest landscapes to its best-preserved medieval village. Stourhead (National Trust, near Mere) — widely regarded as the masterpiece of the English landscape garden tradition — gives lakeside reflections of classical temples in beech-wooded hills that turn spectacular in autumn. Lacock (National Trust, near Chippenham) preserves an almost entirely intact medieval village alongside a twelfth-century abbey, connected by the River Avon water meadows — extraordinary variety within a single National Trust village.
Longleat near Warminster combines England's first Elizabethan country house with Capability Brown landscape park on a grand scale. Avebury's UNESCO stone circle — walkable, free, and set within a living Wiltshire village — gives ancient-landscape portrait settings unlike anywhere else in England. Old Sarum, the original hilltop Salisbury (English Heritage), gives chalk downland panoramas. I cover Salisbury, Swindon, Chippenham, Trowbridge, Devizes, Marlborough, Warminster, and all of Wiltshire.
