A345 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A345 is a secondary A road in Wiltshire, England running from Salisbury to Marlborough ending at a roundabout leading to the High Street and the A4.

The road begins in Salisbury at the Castle Roundabout and heads north out of the city. Here the road takes you to Boscombe Down and then Amesbury before meeting the A303 at a roundabout situated near Countess Services. Continuing north the road passes near to Woodhenge and the Ministry of Defence base at Larkhill. This part of the route can be particularly hazardous as there are often tanks crossing and the road is susceptible to subsidence. The next significant places you meet are Netheravon, and then Upavon where the road meets the A342 to Devizes. From here the road takes you to Pewsey, where the Pewsey White Horse is best viewed, and then continues on to Marlborough.
