Where's the best place to live in Wiltshire?

[Dabz]

I personally like Trowbridge - grew up (from age of 12) in Bradford on Avon but went to school in Trowbridge and now live here. As with KevinB it helps being next to open countryside but even when I lived nearer the centre I loved it

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-)

I came to Trowbridge from Swindon to go to college at 16 years old......and never went back.

I lived in Westbury and Melksham for short periods of time but always ended back inTrowbridge.

The best town around as far as Im concerned.

But everyone has their own opinion so I think you should try out a few by staying in a cheap guest house or similar.

Perhaps I should own up - I grew up in Warminster and my octagenarian mother still lives there! I'm kinda thinking about something a little bit different.

Trowbridge has never really done it for me and my sister lives there. My brother lives in Swindon. I need to be somewhere else ;D. I've lived in Porstmouth for 24 years and it does feel like home so I'm looking for something special. 8-)

Try one of the villages on the outskirts of Trowbridge like Steeple Ashton or Edington - best of both worlds - quiet village location, close to Trow / Westbury train stations for Bristol.
Broughton Gifford is another nice village that is easily accessible.
