TROWBRIDGE | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2022

Join me for a walk around the heart of Trowbridge, the county town of Wiltshire, and a historic centre of South West England's cloth trade! Once upon a time known as the 'Manchester of the West', Trowbridge is dominated by Georgian-era buildings constructed with wealth brought in by textiles, but the town is also home to a wider variety of history, from captivating medieval heritage to a bustling modern townscape, and even some unusual links with North Korea!

On our walk around Trowbridge, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including The Blind House, Town Bridge, the River Biss, Handle House, The Parade, Edward Langford's House, the site of Trowbridge Castle, Trowbridge Market Place, St. James' Church, the old White Hart Inn, Trowbridge Town Hall, Trowbridge Market Hall, the People's Park, Trowbridge War Memorial, Polebarn House, The White Swan Pub, Hall House, and the old National Schools of Trowbridge.
