A few facts about where I live:

Stonehenge is a UNESCO world heritage site which stands testament to the ages and has a magnetism that has drawn people to them for centuries.

Salisbury cathedral has the oldest working clock in the world, from 1386, and it has the best-preserved of the four copies of the Magna Carta.

Stourhead is a country house and garden and Longleat Safari Park, an award-winning and hugely popular wildlife attraction.
