Why Move to Trowbridge
Trowbridge sits on the River Bliss in the beautiful and diverse county of Wiltshire and is its County Town. The medieval centre grew and flourished around Trowbridge Castle, which was built in the early 12th century by the de Bohun family.

Trowbridge’s diversity of shops, both independents and high street names, and its handy public transport links make it a popular shopping hub for the region. The local market which has been operating since the 1200s is held each Tuesday and is a popular affair. A place where people come to meet and socialise as well as shop.
