Geoff:
I think you're doing yourself down. I must leap to the support of Wiltshire 
forthwith.

As a disclaimer, I have no connections with Wiltshire other than relatives 
by marriage who live in Salisbury.

In an ordered list of counties and other unitary authorities, Wiltshire was 
ranked 36/90 on population (2001 census 452,550) and 13/90 on actual 
land area (3255 km2).

We mustn't forget the City of Salisbury with a population of about 115000 
with its beautiful Cathedral and Swindon, a major commercial and industrial 
hub.

I wouldn't rate that as comparatively small!
