Corsham was originally a Saxon settlement, & some of the present buildings can be traced back to the 15th Century.
Corsham Court, with its beautiful gardens & famous art collection, the very old Flemish cottages, the Almshouses, the Church & the quintessentially English cricket green, all combine to make this a delightful base for you to explore this interesting part of the West Country.
A few minutes drive away are the picturesque villages of Lacock & Castle Combe, which have often been used as the setting for period film dramas.
