Melksham, Wiltshire

Melksham is one of those towns that people have heard of, but they can't quite place. One of those towns that people bypass as they drive by, not knowing the friendly community that's there. It's our home, though, and we love it here.

As you'll see from the stone block (photo, right) in one of the town's buildings, Melksham has seen itself over the years as very much a working town. Woollen, rope, and dairy industries thrived here in the times before heavy engineering with the likes of Spencer's, GEC, and Avon Rubber who are still in the town. There's a great deal of modern business too, set out of town in areas such as Bowerhill.

A mixture of old and new buildings in the town centre provides a patchwork quilt of surprises, with many an architecturally interesting corner hidden away behind a modern building - a great and safe place to explore. And we've a wealth of pubs, restaurants and take-aways in the town too, making it a great base for touring Wiltshire - we're just 4 miles from Lacock, 6 miles from Corsham, 6 miles from Devizes. We're close to Bath and Stonehenge, Avebury and Westbury, Longleat and Bowood, Bradford on Avon and Malmesbury too .. in fact the list is endless!
