Melksham is a compact market town in Wiltshire, England, set on the low-lying floodplain of the River Avon with the sweeping downs of Salisbury Plain not far to the south. Historically it grew up around agriculture and woollen and engineering mills, and you can still see pockets of Victorian industrial architecture alongside a traditional high street and a regular market.
Today Melksham combines light industry and local services with a growing commuter population who travel to Chippenham, Trowbridge or further afield to Bath and Bristol. Transport links include the local station on the TransWilts route, and the town has an active community life with festivals, clubs and steady housing development that reflect its blend of historic roots and modern living.
