Bradford on Avon is a delightful, small, typically English market town. It has several attractions, including an 8th century Saxon church, a magnificent 13th century tithe barn, one of the few remaining lock-ups on the town bridge, and a veritable warren of charming weavers' cottages built up the steep side of the banks of the Avon.

Bradford on Avon is also well-situated for many other Wiltshire and west country attractions. These include Bath (only 7 miles by road, with a regular train service), Castle Combe, Dyrham House, Lacock, Longleat with its grand house and the safari park, Avebury, the Wiltshire white horses, and Stonehenge.
