Pretty Bradford on Avon has bagloads of Wiltshire charm and a great reputation with walkers, who flock to its walking festival, gentle canalside setting and, of course, the nearby Cotswolds.
Take a turn by the town's striking historic structures - there's a 14th century Tithe Barn, a Saxon church (St Laurence's) with a honey coloured exterior and the 15th century Westwood Manor close by. Westwood in particular is a stone built treasure where you can lavish tapestries and a clipped ornamental garden.
Discover the history of the town and shots of the way life once was from its impressive photo collection, on a trip to the Bradford on Avon Museum. Fantastic live performances and fun dance and music workshops courtesy of the Wiltshire Music Centre will also tempt culture lovers.
For something waterside, pop to the Bradford-on-Avon Wharf. Look out for features such as the lock keeper's house which now serves as a café, as well as the Bradford-on-Avon Lock.
Blissful peace is in store with an amble along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal, or why not hire a narrowboat for relaxing, grab a hat and declare yourself the skipper!
If all that exploring makes you peckish, time your visit for one of the town's monthly farmers markets and perhaps join the quirky fun of the annual pancake race (yes, really) where locals battle it out to cross the bridge fastest with frying pan in hand.
Looking for stunning natural landscapes? You won't have to go far to reach the beautiful Peto Garden at Iford Manor or the Barton Farm Country Park with its 36 acres, fishing and chance to glide around in a row boat on the water.
You're in a great spot for exploring, so go and see how the Romans got squeaky clean in Bath, or make it a real adventure at Longleat with a safari trip. You won't want to miss the pintsize cathedral city of Wells further afield - where there's a small but mighty cathedral and some of the oldest streets you'll have ever seen.
