Today, over 100 years, later that statement is still true<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to live somewhere that is lively and vibrant and combines unspoilt villages with bustling market towns and stunning English countryside, then Wiltshire is a great choice. No surprise then that McCarthy &amp; Stone has no fewer than five brand new retirement developments there.<\/p>\n<p>Wiltshire is steeped in cultural surprises. Author and creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming (1908-1964) is buried in the parish church of St. James\u2019s, Sevenhampton, near Swindon; and author William Golding was a teacher at Bishop Wordsworth\u2019s School in Salisbury when he wrote Lord of the Flies.<\/p>\n<p>Wiltshire also has some Michelin-starred restaurants. The Harrow at Little Bedwyn achieved a Michelin Star in 2006 and every year since, and Whatley Manor, Hotel and Spa in Wiltshire also has a Michelin-star restaurant headed up by Niall Keating.<\/p>\n<p>Considering a McCarthy &amp; Stone retirement apartment in Wiltshire is ideal for those who want to enjoy all the benefits of flexible, independent living but with the peace of mind of being part of a safe and secure community. There are 24-hour emergency call points and a House Manager at each development.<\/p>\n<p>Each apartment comes ready to move into, with a fully-fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobes, and shower rooms, as well as telephone and TV points.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;3.5.1&#8243;]Below are images of the types of interiors that can be expected at these developments once completed&lt;!&#8211;
