Trowbridge buildings [4]
The Twelve Bells, 2 Seymour Road, is a substantial if unremarkable public house.
A market town and county town of Wiltshire, Trowbridge lies on the River Biss, 6 miles (10 kilometres) south of Bath. The town developed as a centre for woollen cloth production from the 14th century, which from the 17th century became increasingly industrialized, so much so that, in 1820, Trowbridge was described as the "Manchester of the West" with over 20 woollen cloth producing factories. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs just to the north of the town and both the Wessex Main Line (Bristol–Westbury–Southampton) and the Heart of Wessex Line (Bristol–Westbury–Weymouth) railways.

A walk from Trowbridge to Bradford-on-Avon [10]
The path continues to run alongside the railway.
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.
