Thanks everyone for being so helpfiul and generous with your advice and suggestions. What I've gleaned from all your replies is that Wiltshire has a little bit of everything for every taste! I'll be working in Bristol and don't fancy driving in so rail links are important, which narrows things down a bit. Devizes and Marlborough sound and look nice but aren't on the rail link. Salisbury though charming is a bit too far and I'm to old to go to school ;D. Chippenham is a possibility but perhaps too big but it is close to Castle Combe. Trowbridge is ...............Trowbridge. BonA is too Bath but not enough! : I think I'm getting a short list of possibilities now and your replies have helped immensely, so thank you. I hope I can thank personally when eventually I meet some or all of you on rideout or other social event. Ttfn. Stew 8-)
