Swindon is a large town in Wiltshire, South West England. It is about halfway between Bristol to the west and Reading to the east. Over the years, Swindon has transformed from a small market town into a significant urban centre, largely due to its railway history.
Chippenham is a historic market town located in Wiltshire, South West England. It lies on the River Avon and is roughly 20 miles east of Bath and 86 miles west of London. Chippenham has been a settlement since prehistoric times, with evidence of Roman activity in the area. The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Devizes is a historic market town situated in the heart of Wiltshire. The name "Devizes" originates from the medieval Latin "Divisas," meaning "at the boundaries" or "divisions" since the town was located within boundaries of the Bishop of Salisbury's estate. Devizes Castle was originally constructed as a medieval wooden fortress in the early 12th century and the current stone castle, mostly of Victorian origin, stands on the same site and remains a prominent feature of the town.
Other postal towns and areas covered by the SN postcode area are Calne, Corsham, Faringdon, Malmesbury, Marlborough, Melksham and Pewsey.
