A Short Drive Around Part Of Chippenham Market Town In Wiltshire.

Chippenham is a market town situated in Wiltshire, England, which lies 13 miles (21 km) east of Bath and 101 miles (163 km) west of London. In the 27 March 2011 census, the town's population was recorded at 45,337, superseding Salisbury as Wiltshire's second-largest town.

The town was established on a crossing of the River Avon and is believed to have existed as some form of settlement since before Roman times. It was a royal villa, and probably a royal hunting lodge, under Alfred the Great. The primary school, King's Lodge School, gets its name from this tradition.

The town continued to grow when the Great Western Railway arrived in 1841, and while historically a market town the economy has changed to that of a commuter town.
