On Wednesday 11th July and Thursday 12th the Olympic Torch returns to Wiltshire. Over the two days it will travel through nine communities and make a special dawn stop off at Stonehenge.

On Wednesday the torch will travel through Ludgershall, Tidworth, Amesbury, The Winterbournes and then into Salisbury's Hudson's Field where Wiltshire's 2012 Festival of Celebration is taking place. The festival is free and is open to the public from 1pm-10pm.

On July 12 the torch will travel to Stonehenge of a dawn photocall. From there it will be taken back to Salisbury Cathedral from where it will travel to Wilton, Barford St Martin, Fovant and then finally Ludwell, before it enters Dorset on its way to Weymouth.
