Premier Inn Trowbridge

Yes, Trowbridge is worth a visit, especially if you’re exploring Wiltshire. It’s the county town, so it’s full of history and has good links to nearby highlights like Bradford-on-Avon, Bath and the wider Wiltshire countryside. Trowbridge itself has a fascinating past, shaped by the woollen cloth industry, and you’ll find historic buildings, green spaces and a growing mix of cafes and restaurants. It’s not as tourist-heavy as some other places in Wiltshire, which makes it a relaxed spot to explore at your own pace.

Trowbridge is most famous for being the centre of the woollen cloth industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was sometimes nicknamed “the Manchester of the West” because of the number of mills in the town. Reminders of that textile heritage can still be seen today in the architecture, with old mill buildings dotted around the town.

Trowbridge is classed as a medium-sized town. Its size makes it easy to get around, with most of the main sights and shops within walking distance of each other.

The town is known for its historic woollen cloth industry, its old mill buildings and its role as the county town of Wiltshire. More recently, Trowbridge has developed a reputation as a convenient base for exploring nearby destinations like Bath, Longleat and the scenic Wiltshire countryside. It’s also known for being home to Wiltshire Council and having strong rail connections, which makes it a handy hub for visitors.
