In this issue

With Wiltshire Life’s August issue, you can take flight to another realm away from the irritations of daily life. ‘Come fly with me’, says the saker falcon on our cover and you can do, following in the footsteps of the editor who met golden eagles, a kestrel, Harris hawk and barn owl. There’s plenty of sunshine in this issue, too, from the woman who “sells sunshine on the A36” to the stunning images in our article about Salisbury’s Clarendon Circle of villages. Down Your Way visits Malmesbury, while Chris Cole looks at how Wiltshire got its white horse hill figures. We meet keen crafter and TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp; the organiser of Chippenham Folk Festival, Bob Berry; and botanist and author of 20 books, Peter Marren. Finally, we have a picture extravaganza for you, with our coverage of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall’s visit to Salisbury, plus a glorious centre page spotter’s guide to moths. There’s much more to read that we don’t have space to tell you about here.
