Providence Chapel is a delightful
Grade II listed building situated amongst an historic terrace of
cottages on the northern edge of this beautiful Wiltshire market town.
Bradford on Avon is steeped in history
dating back to Roman times but owes much of its prosperity and beautiful
architecture to the wool trade. Today visitors enjoy visiting the market
town to explore the historic buildings, interesting shops, restaurants,
cafes and pubs which are scattered around the narrow streets. It is a
true pleasure to sit in one of the cafes in the middle of town with a
cappuccino and watch the world go by. The Avon and Kennet Canal which
played an essential role in the wool trade now offers visitors many
opportunities whether it be by foot, bicycle or even boat to experience
the beautiful countryside.
There are also many other interesting
places to visit within the surrounding area – too numerous to mention
here. Bath is only 8 miles away and can be reached from the town by
train (15 mins) or bus (30 mins). Other popular attractions include
Longleat, Lacock, Bowood House, Stonehenge, Avebury, Malmesbury. In fact
there’s something that caters for every interest.
For those who enjoy a round of golf,
Cumberwell Park Golf Club (www.cumberwellpark.com) is within 5 minutes
drive, providing 4 separate 9 holes each of different character suitable
for golfers of all abilities. Booking of tee times is recommended.
