[imgr=square]Some charming old buildings around Church Square[/img] If you're in Melksham on a Well House Consultants course, you'll probably be staying in one of the local hotels or B&Bs - there's a list of the ones closest to use that get good reports on our joining instructions page, with a link to a .pdf document listing places that aren't quite so close, but usually get good reviews. And if you're staying locally, make a point of walking around one evening and looking at some of the old buildings.

Melksham is a working town - so it's not all "pretty" but it's well connected by road and there's plenty in the surrounding countryside. Quite a few places such as Bath can be reached by train and/or bus and there are evening services too.
