The gorgeous rolling countryside around the Wiltshire – Dorset border is peppered with things to see and do. There are plenty of Iron Age earthworks, the most impressive being Battlesbury Camp, near Warminster; National Trust owned Stourhead features one of the finest examples of 18th century landscaping; and Longleat House & Safari Park is one of the country’s best loved attractions. This corner of England is quite unspoilt, and activity lovers are encouraged to get amongst it either on foot or bike.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
