Westbury, Wiltshire

Westbury is a town and civil parish in the west of the English county of Wiltshire, most famous for the Westbury White Horse.
==Toponymy==
The most likely origin of the ''West-'' in Westbury is simply that the town is near the western edge of the county of Wiltshire, the bounds of which have been much the same since the Anglo-Saxon period.
The ''-bury'' part of the name is a form of ''borough'', which has cognates in many languages, such as the German ''-burg'' and the Greek ''-pyrgos''. It carries the idea of a hill or fortified town. In Wiltshire, ''-bury'' often indicates an Iron Age or Bronze Age fortified hill fort, and such a site is to be found immediately above the Westbury White Horse.
