About

The Corsham, Bowden Hill and Lacock area is defined by its historic built environment and rural landscapes. Corsham is centred on its High Street and the expansive Corsham Court estate, with honey-coloured Bath stone buildings. To the south, Bowden Hill sits on a wooded ridge overlooking the Bowden Hill and Spye Park estate. The area is characterised by farmland, parkland and small woodland patches, with the River Avon forming a western boundary.

The village of Lacock, owned by the National Trust, is a preserved settlement with medieval, Tudor and Georgian architecture, including Lacock Abbey.

The Kennet and Avon Canal passes to the north, and the area is traversed by minor roads connecting these settlements.
