Bradford-on-Avon, Historic market town in Wiltshire, England
Bradford-on-Avon sits along the River Avon, featuring limestone buildings, ancient bridges, and former textile mills spread across steep hillsides.
The settlement grew from a Roman villa site into a wool production center during medieval times, with the 13th-century bridge still connecting both riverbanks.
The 14th-century Tithe Barn represents medieval agricultural architecture, measuring 51 meters long with exposed timber roof trusses and stone walls.
The railway station provides direct connections to Bath and London, while the Kennet and Avon Canal offers waterway access for boats and pedestrians.
The Saxon Church of St Laurence remains intact since the 11th century, maintaining its original narrow doorways and high-level windows.
