About Chippenham - show infohide info
Chippenham is a market town in Wiltshire, England. Although the town is no longer of major importance to the country, it has an estimated population of over 40,000. The town is within the North Wiltshire local government district and parliamentary constituency in Wiltshire, England. North Wiltshire District Council is based here. The largest employer in the town appears to be a part of Westinghouse, now a part of Invensys, who are quite busy with railway signalling work, as they have been for many years. Parts of their site are now occupied by a diverse range of other companies. There are a number of other industrial sites around the town. The main street in town is pedestrianised by day, and car parking is available at several sites around the centre. Short-term parking is free in car parks around the town centre. There are several pleasant cafes and other eating establishments, and the possibility of a stroll along the riverbank. There is also a nightlife scene, with the Rose and Crown and Buds 2000 being late-night venues, although many people travel to Bath. The Severn and Thames cycle route (part of Route 4) of the Sustrans National Cycle Network passes through the town. Chippenham is surrounded by sparse countryside and there are several woodlands in or in close proximity to the town, for example, Bird's Marsh, Vincients Wood and Briars Wood. There is not much tourist accommodation actually in Chippenham, but some within a few miles, particularly along the A4 Bath Road through Corsham and Box, or on several local farms. Near Chippenham are the towns of Swindon, Gloucester, Bristol, Bath, Trowbridge, and Marlborough, as well as the vilages of Hullavington, Pewsham, Patterdown, Notton, Pickwick, Langley Burrell and Allington.
