Thanks to new state of the art technology, photographs of Wiltshire are being taken like never before, namely by drones.

For the first time visitors to Wiltshire will be able to see the beautiful countryside through a bird's eye view.

Wiltshire's connection with the past helps visitors appreciate time in the present, with the magnificent pictures of Salisbury Cathedral, Malmesbury Abbey and Old Sarum among the wonderful sights the drone has captured.

A new film titled 'What view did you wake up to this morning.' is the first of a three part series will give the public an increased knowledge and appreciation of the historic County.

Visit Wiltshire were able to use the latest drone technology thanks to £5m of funding from the South West Tourism Growth Fund.

"We are working closely with VisitBritain,VisitEngland and VisitWiltshire partners to ensure this is shared online and via social media channels."
