A walk from Trowbridge to Bradford-on-Avon [1]
From the forecourt of Trowbridge railway station, the path begins. The hoardings are around the site of the former Bowyers meat processing factory, which has lain derelict since 2009.
The walk starts at Trowbridge railway station and initially follows both the railway line and the River Bliss northwards. The river and the railway both pass under the Kennet and Avon Canal and the canal towpath is taken heading west towards Bradford-on-Avon. Leaving the canal, a short walk through streets leads to the railway station for a train back to the starting point at Trowbridge. Just under 3¾ miles.

Derelict former Bowyers site, Trowbridge
Viewed along Station Way. From a shop which opened in Trowbridge in the early 19th century, the Bowyers business expanded in the 20th century to become the largest producer of fresh sausages in the UK. Since Bowyers left Trowbridge in 2007, this site has become derelict.
Developer Prorsus has unveiled plans to redevelop the site. Its proposal includes an 8-screen cinema, coffee shops, several restaurants, a riverside walk, a civic square, a Morrisons foodstore, a petrol filling station and a family pub. The scheme proposes c550 free car parking spaces.
