Bowerhill is a suburb to the south of Melksham in rural Wiltshire, England. It sits on the edge of the town and combines a sizeable industrial estate - home to light industry and distribution warehouses - with residential estates largely built during the 20th century, making it both a local employment hub and a commuter neighbourhood for nearby towns such as Trowbridge and Bath.
Historically the area grew from farmland into a mixed industrial and housing district after the war, and today retains a village-like community feel with schools, sports clubs and local pubs alongside business parks; residents value the easy access to the Wiltshire countryside and local walking routes while still being close to the services and events in Melksham.
