A lovely town located on the Wiltshire cycleway. Features a lovely abbey as well as lots of independent shops and cafes. Would particularly recommend the Summer Café or The Birdcage. If passing through early in the day there is a huge choice of fantastic bakery's selling all the classics.
Birdcage open every day 12:00 - 21:30.
Summer café open Mon to Sat 7:30 - 17:00 and Sun 9:00 - 16:00.
