With Melksham Electric Substation just to the north of the town, you can see lots of electric lines and Pylons in around the area; here they are striding off in lines up the Avon Valley towards Chippenham, following the TransWilts Railway line.


Although most people would dislike the idea of a major electrical installation in their back yard, there's a certain beauty; this picture is taken from the public footpath that skirts the north of the site. More pictures [here]. And it seems that others appreciate the beauty too - as you can see from the video that's [here].


We run a hotel in Melksham ... and we welcome guests coming to see the sights and sound of Wiltshire - that hotel is Well House Manor and we offer really superb rooms for a weekend away (and we can clean up walker's muddy boots ;-) ). There are plenty of other things to see in Wiltshire - White Horses, Stone Circles, Southern Cotswold Villages like Lacock, Locks and Canals, and pretty little towns like Bath and historic cities such as Salisbury and Bath.
