July 2018 - The secret life of chalk streams

In this issue

Wiltshire Life’s July issue is a great read for high summer. We’re dabbling our feet in the county’s cooling chalk streams to find out what lies beneath the surface of the water. River-dipping is something the whole family can get involved with. We also meet BBC antiques expert Paul Martin on his smallholding in Seend; catch up with Marlborough-based Badminton-winner Jonelle Price; meet a professor of spying coming to the Chalke Valley History Festival; and chat to Johnny Messum, owner of a unique tithe barn gallery in Tisbury. Down Your Way explores Marlborough, which will be welcoming a very famous comedian and author in the coming months, while Village Life rediscovers the villages of the A30, west of Wilton. Elsewhere, Chris Cole reveals the secrets of Westbury white horse and VisitWiltshire lists spots to watch the sunrise. We also launch our awards, and find out how Marlborough are saving bees. The issue is buzzing with much more but we’ll leave you to discover it for yourself.
