Olympic Torch in Salisbury:
The full route the iconic flame will be taking has been revealed, including a number of our smaller towns and villages.
On the 11th of July 2012 the torch will travel through Ludgershall, Tidworth, Amesbury - passing Stonehenge and the Winterbournes before finishing in Salisbury for the night, where an event will be held at Hudson's Field.
The following day will see the Olympic torch move through Wilton, Barford St Martin and Fovant.
