Corsham is a compact market town in north‑west Wiltshire, England, about eight miles west of Bath. Its honey‑coloured stone buildings and a pleasant high street of independent shops and cafés give it a conserved, historic feel, while the stately Corsham Court and its landscaped gardens are a local highlight.
The town’s history is tied to the wool trade and extensive local quarrying, and those quarries include vast underground caverns that later housed a Cold War-era bunker used by the Ministry of Defence. Today Corsham blends that industrial and military past with a lively community life, arts activity and a commuter relationship with nearby Bath and Bristol, making it both a historic centre and a desirable place to live.
