Tucked into the western corner of Wiltshire the town of Bradford on Avon is only 8 miles from Bath. The 'broad ford' across the River Avon was replaced in medieval times by a sturdy stone bridge, complete with chapel for the use of the pilgrims. The view from the bridge encompasses the hill above the town where the old weavers' cottages are situated; and along the riverbank 19th century cloth mills, all built of local stone.
