Rail Routes: Westbury to Salisbury
20th May 2006

The picturesque 'Wylye Valley' route in Wiltshire sees relatively little regular locomotive-hauled traffic, except when Freightliner traffic to and from Southampton is diverted via Westbury. Take the unclassified road between Tytherington (Wilts) and Wilton to explore the line and while you're there, try the Ginger Piggery farm shop at Boyton for fantastic bacon! Images in this collection are organised in route order from Westbury.
