Wiltshire (abbreviated Wilts) is a large southern English county. Considered as a ceremonial county it borders those of Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, and contains the unitary authority of Swindon.
Wiltshire is a mostly rural landscape with large areas of rolling chalk downland and grazing farmland. A large part of the county is taken up by Salisbury Plain, a vast expanse of semi-wilderness used mainly by farmers and the British Army. The county had a population of 564,000 in 1991 and a size of 858,931 acres (3475.97 kmē). A local name for a Wiltshire native is moonraker.
