The historic city of Salisbury lies to the southeast of the district at the confluence of the River Nadder and River Avon valleys. Close by are the satellite conurbations of Wilton, famous for its carpet making industry, and Harnham. To the north in the Avon valley is Amesbury and to the far north and east the military areas of Salisbury Plain Training Area and the Porton Down Experimental Station. Away from Salisbury the district is largely rural. The iconic ancient monument of Stonehenge is to be found in the north adjacent to the A303, one of the major routes to the south-west of England.
