Trowbridge

Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, based on it historical role from Roman times, on the River Biss,: through to the industrial revolution, when the Kennet and Avon Canal was bringing coal from Somerset,; to supply steam-powered manufacturing of clothing and blankets in mills sourced by the county's wool.
For a county town it is relatively close to Bath, separated from the Somerset boundary only: by Westwood, Wingfield and Southwick.
Development has extended into North Bradley, directly south, before Heywood parish: on the A350, represented by Westbury further south.
At Yarnbrook the A350 turns north to avoid Trowbridge, passing north through West Ashton parish,: before Great Hinton, separated from the east of Trowbridge by Hilperton.
Staverton is directly north east, where the Kennet and Avon Canal leaves Trowbridge parish: forming the boundary between Hilperton and Staverton, on the way eastwards to Devizes.; North of Trowbridge, the A363 leads to Bradford-on-Avon.
