Beauty expert Liz Earle highlights three of her preferred spots in Wiltshire: Compton McCrae in Semley for its bakery, local foods and cheese room; Fox & King in Tisbury for its welcoming bookshop atmosphere; and Kingsettle Antiques in Semley for its varied vintage items. Each location is described positively, supported by visitor reviews and strong local reputations.

Aldi plans to open two new stores in Wiltshire as part of a nationwide expansion, including a proposed £10 million site with a drive‑thru coffee shop in Devizes and the relocation of its Melksham branch to a larger site. Both projects include expanded parking and improved facilities, with existing staff retained in Melksham. The retailer continues its broader £370 million investment in new stores across the UK and is inviting customers to suggest future locations as it works toward a goal of 1,500 stores.
