WESTBURY is famous for its 'white horse' landmark, cut into the chalk hill overlooking the town. Visit www.westwiltshire.gov.uk or www.wiltshiretourism.co.uk or call the Tourist Information Centre on 01373 827158. 
The centre of town is surprisingly quaint, particularly around the Market Place, and there are some interesting independent retail stores. The Horse and Groom pub is a short walk from the Market Place up Alfred Street. Its one of the real ale pubs on our Rail Ale Trail.

Chalk and other minerals have always been important in Westbury - you can still often see trainloads of limestone at the station! The Blue Circle chalk quarry is reputed to be the largest in Europe. Westbury also has splendid Victorian swimming baths, with the oldest indoor pool still in use in the country. Why not immerse yourself in this piece of history! Westbury is also of interest to rail enthusiasts -  the signalling centre controls trains all the way from Bradford to Yeovil and there is a regular parade of heavy goods locomotives
