A brand-new "exciting" app has been released to aid travelers and locals in discovering a county's local history and cultural heritage.
Information about significant events, historical sites, and cultural locales that have influenced the county's landscape can be found on Explore Wiltshire.
The free app makes historical images, engravings, and data available from the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre's archives.
It went live on Wednesday.
The geo-aware app had information and trails for Bradford on Avon, Chippenham, Cricklade, Devizes, Salisbury, and Warminster when it first came out, along with a link to the Explore Malmesbury website.
The authority was "delighted" to launch the "new and exciting app," according to Cllr Richard Clewer, the leader of Wiltshire Council and cabinet member for heritage, arts, and tourism.
The benefits of exercise and fresh air will be promoted for both locals and visitors.
And all of this while discovering the parishes, cities, and towns of Wiltshire's rich and varied heritage, he continued.
People will be able to explore their local area in "an exciting way," he claimed, with the aid of interactive maps, walking trails, hunts, and challenges, as well as pictures, audio, and video clips.
The app, he claimed, is "vital" for keeping up with people's habits because it provides experiences that online shopping "simply can't," he added.
The app features Phil Harding, who provides introductions for each town and appears on the Channel 4 shows Wessex Archaeology and Time Team.
"I'm not ashamed to say I love Wiltshire, which makes me really happy to have any opportunity to promote the county," said Mr. Harding. ".
In addition to the well-known locations like Stonehenge, Avebury, and Salisbury Cathedral, he claimed that the nation has a lot to offer.
He continued, "It will make any trip just a little bit more enjoyable."
