Semington is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, located a few miles south of Melksham and to the east of Trowbridge. It sits beside the Kennet and Avon Canal, where Semington Lock and the old wharf provide a focus for boaters and walkers in the Avon valley and give the village a canal-side character.
Historically the canal and local agriculture shaped the settlement, and today it remains a largely rural community with a village hall, local clubs and a mix of farming and commuters to nearby towns. The combination of waterways, rolling countryside and a quietly historic centre makes Semington a pleasant stop for visitors exploring Wiltshire’s paths and canals.
