    Lots of lovely place, some require lots of lovely money too! Depends on what you want really. Just have a good look round before you decide. 8-)

    Hi Stew

    They are all wrong ;D ;D :P

    Salisbury and here's why -

    Very nice range of housing
    Great shops and lovely town centre
    Beautiful location
    Great leisure facilities
    Schools with some of the highest Ofsted ratings in the county
    Main line railway station with quick access to London
    Stones throw from Thruxton
    Closest to the coast
    On the Hampshire border - handy for family and friends[/list]

    and THE most important factor no one has mentioned - it is surrounded by THE BEST biking roads in Wiltshire. No contest ;D ;D

    I've lived in Trowbridge all my life and now work in Devizes so would say Devizes or Marlborough ;D

    As others have said it depends on what you want (and can afford) town, village or close to motorway?
    I live on the outskirts of Trowbridge so only a minute from open countryside. We try not to use Trowbridge for shopping though as there's nothing here, prefer Bristol

    I live in Salisbury and it is a nice place with a few good roads leading every direction. The only problems are high rent/purchase prices for houses and even higher for shops and thats why a lot of the shops are closing down. You will need a tractor to negotiate the roads in the city centre as full of potholes that never seem to get fixed.
    Otherwise what Nicky stated. Schools are great.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Ahh pot holes the delights of Wiltshire roads, and yep judging by the amount of crap on the roads quite a few of our fellow residents do indeed drive tractors and not just to miss pot holes ;D
