From the wilderness of Salisbury Plain to the urban sprawl of Swindon, Wiltshire can be all things to all people. That is why defining the county is not always an easy prospect!

By talking to the people who live and work in Wiltshire, A Sense of Place hopes to get closer to finding out what Wiltshire really means to those who have made their home here.

A series of six documentaries, produced forn BBC Wiltshire Sound, explores people's ideas on their sense of place in Wiltshire. Click here to find out more.

The series explores a number of themes, including:

  • Wiltshire's varied landscape and the chalk and cheese phenomenon.

  • How artists, writers, musicians and philosophers interpret their place in the county.

  • Why the circle is such a significant symbol in the Wiltshire landscape- from the county's ancient stonecircles to the Magic Roundabout in Swindon!

  • The pressures facing the county's rural communities as they struggle to maintain an identity in the twenty-first century.

  • What happens to our sense of place when we're denied one of the five senses.
