Ticket deals: Wiltshire Day Rover

Not many people have heard of the Wiltshire Day Rover, but it's well worth knowing about. It's a day ticket, backed by Wiltshire Council, which gives you unlimited travel on just about any bus route in Wiltshire, regardless of operator.

What's more, it is valid on most routes that cross the county border, making it easy for us outsiders to explore Wiltshire by bus. It can be bought and used on Salisbury Reds X7 from Southampton and 34 from Romsey. Full details of the ticket, including a map, here.

Major routes to take you beyond Salisbury are:
Salisbury Reds 2 to Devizes.
Salisbury Reds X5 to Marlborough and Swindon (Stagecoach 5 on Sundays)
Wiltshire Buses 24 to Warminster, with connections for Bath

It's even valid on routes to Oxford, Bath and Cirencester! Use Traveline to work out which buses you'll need to use.
