Millenium Bridge, Melksham

Melksham is on the river Avon, although it has turned its back on the river for many years. As a Millennium project, a great deal of work was done on the Riverside Walk and it's now a pleasant evening stroll. To some extend, this is an asset waiting to be used ... and we hope that when the Wilts and Berks Canal is restored from the Kennet and Avon Canal at Semington up to Lacock and beyond that it will come up the river rather than bypassing the town.

There is plenty of other Walking in the Melksham area. Most people here travel by car or bus ... but did you know that the Melkshamtrain provides a good rail service too, with Melksham Station served by 10 trains every weekday from Swindon via Chippenham and Melksham to Trowbridge and Westbury?
