This page is not linked from yourguide to Chippenham, so you probably got here by using the search facility. Please take the time to read down the page before moving on. With any luck it's here.
I have no wish to become a poor man's Yellow Pages, so although not all the towns' businesses are listed, but, because couple of local businesses have been searched for more than once, yet have no appropriate page of their own, I may have included them here.
Other random facts will follow as I become aware of your interests.
The yourguide sites include, at the last count, 536 pages containing around 126974 words.
