Chippenham's location makes it wonderfully situated as a centre for touring over
perhaps a hundred mile radius. It lies on the southern
most edge of the Cotswolds, just to the north west of Salisbury Plain
& the Marlborough Downs. Only a few miles from Bath and north west
of the Mendips.
Castle Combe & Lacock, vie for the title of the prettiest village in England, both are within five miles. Here are approximate distances to surrounding towns. Check out the local Weather |
