The county was ranked in the top ten for luxuries, which include the number of Michelin-star restaurants, five-star hotels, golf courses and spas. 

Wiltshire was also praised for its quiet, which is ranked on low population density and top-rated villages. 

The City of London, Bristol and Bedfordshire were all ranked at the bottom of the Telegraph's list as some of the worst counties in England.
