This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.

Timsbury basin is one of the remnants of the old Somerset Coal Canal. This is where the canal began, flowing from here down to the Kennet and Avon canal near Bath. The canal isn't complete, but you can trace the route starting with these ponds.

An oasis of green on the edge of the town of Trowbridge, Southwick Country Park is a nature reserve and home to a wide variety of wildlife, including rare reptiles such as adders, grass snakes and slow worms, alongside diverse wetland, woodland and grassland habitats. With a mix of surfaced paths, good for year-round and buggy/wheelchair use, and adventurous off-road trails, which do get muddy in winter, there's a walk to suit everyone. The Hope Nature Centre on site has goats, ponies and other animals - great for children - and there's parkrun on a Saturday morning, too.

A great alternative to the road this wide gravel road is beautiful and takes you alongside the lake- further, along the trail, there is a safe railway crossing then the path narrows but is still rideable.
