Self catering holidays in Corsham - Wiltshire

Corsham is a historic market town situated in the North West of Wiltshire, England.  It is famed for its historical buildings and traditional village style. The civil parish town is made distinctive by its peacocks which roam the streets freely.

It lies at the south western extremes of the Cotswolds between the boundaries of Bath and Chippenham.  Corsham has been an ancient centre for agriculture and the wool industry as well as its quarrying of Golden Bath stone or Limestone as it is more commonly known, which is used in many of its beautiful buildings.

The town of Corsham has also been the location for many films, television and photo shoots including the Harry Potter films and many period dramas because of its stunning location and historical assets. It is the proud home of Corsham Court, a stunning stately home based on Elizabethan design. The grounds of the estate are where the roaming peacocks originated.

There are also other tourist attractions such as the old 17th century schoolroom and Almshouses, which are filled with original Victorian furnishings and can still be found where they were built so many years ago.

To visit some of these great attractions along with enjoying the surroundings of the area, tourists may want to opt for self catering holiday homes such as holiday chalets, self catering villas, log cabins and cottages.
