Attractions in Melksham and Wiltshire

The King’s Arms hotel and pub in Melksham is the perfect base for exploring the world-class walking, cycling and dog-walking opportunities in and around Bath, the Cotswolds and the North Wessex Downs.

We’re close to popular attractions like Bowood Manor, Lacock Abbey and Dyrham Park, while Bath Abbey, Roman Baths, Pulteney Bridge, the Royal Crescent and Thermae Bath Spa are only a short drive away.

There are plenty of nearby towns and villages to visit too, such as Bradford-on-Avon, Castle Combe, Corsham, and Lacock.

There’s no shortage of exciting things to do around the Cotswolds, making it perfect for thrillseekers and adventure holidays – paddleboarding, golf, hot air ballooning, the Cotswold Way Walk, and mountain biking are great ways to get your heart racing.

Slightly further afield is the Neolithic henge monument of Avebury, which is one of the most well-known prehistoric sites in the United Kingdom.
