The best places in Swindon and Wiltshire to see the solar eclipse
['Peter Davison']
Wiltshire Times | News
Because the eclipse will take place as the Sun is setting, a high, open site with an unobstructed western horizon is the best place to view the eclipse.
The best places in the county to see the eclipse include:Cley Hill, near Warminster — Probably the strongest practical choice, with elevated ground and broad westward views.

Safe options include:Use genuine eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer meeting ISO 12312-2:2015(E) standards.
Because Wiltshire will see a partial eclipse, there is no point at which it is safe to view the Sun with the naked eye.
