Press release from Warminster Town Council:
Wonderful Warminster
Just some of the stunning sites featured in the Warminster Blue Plaque Trail.
Warminster town centre retains nearly all its 18th and 19th century buildings in a streetscape that has not changed substantially since the 1880s, despite considerable growth over the intervening period of time.
The Explore Wiltshire App, which features a permanent collection of hunts and trails now includes the Warminster Blue Plaque Trail.
The trial guides users around the twenty blue plaque sites and features audio to learn about the historical significance of each site. It may be completed in either direction, in full or in part.
The full walk takes approximately two hours to complete at a gentle pace over firm and reasonably level ground.
Downloading the Explore Wiltshire App also allow visitors to take part in fun seasonal hunts and trails including the Warminster Christmas Carol Hunt (coming soon), which will take visitors around the town centre answering questions on well-loved Christmas carols.
Anyone who successfully completes the hunt will have the chance of winning some great festive prizes including a Christmas hamper and £75 Waitrose voucher.
