CLASSIC and cherished cars roared into Cricklade as part of the second annual North Wiltshire Discovery Tour.

The two-day event, which started on Saturday, is regarded by many as one of the most important dates in the south's motoring calender.

Hundreds of residents and visitors descended on the High Street to watch the parade pass through the town.

Chairman of Cricklade Business Association, David Cuthbertson, said the event was good for Cricklade: "It's just another reason to visit the town. The day was a real success and everything ran smoothly."

Afterwards drivers headed off to the villages of Corsham and Box. The event culminated on Sunday when participants were quizzed on what they had discovered about Wiltshire during the 90-mile tour.
