Trowbridge – 6 Quirky Facts
- It’s Not Manchester
Trowbridge was once dubbed the ‘Manchester of the West’. Not down to its football team or a busy 90s club scene, but because of its cloth production during the 18th and 19th centuries. - County Town
Despite its diminutive stature, Trowbridge is actually the county town of Wiltshire. - Beer Today…
Gone tomorrow. Trowbridge once had its own brewery (but alas no more!). Parts of the brewery buildings are still standing and can be seen in the town centre. - Castle
The town had a castle and was considered a stronghold for the area for centuries. Sadly, the castle no longer exists but there is Castle Street, Castle Shopping centre and many streets still follow the outline of the old moat. - Young Lord
In 1176, Henry de Bohun became Lord of the Manor at the age of just 15. Despite his young years, Henry was largely responsible for putting Trowbridge on the map and helping the town become successful. In 1200 he obtained the first market charter for any town in Wiltshire and one of the first in England. The footprint of the stalls he laid out can still be seen in the positioning of today’s shops. - Magna Carter
Henry due Bohun came to prominence again later in his life. He was one of the notable figures who stood against the cruel reign of King John. He was at the signing of the Magna Carter that changed life in England for the common man, the ripple effect from this one event changed how countries were ruled across Europe forever.

About Trowbridge
Laying between the River Way and River Biss, Trowbridge was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as ‘Straburg.’ And at one point in its history it was presided over by a castle, making it an important places and safe stopping point. Fore Street follows the line of the old castle ditch. In the 18th century woollen cloth production brought the town prosperity, leaving a rich architectural legacy including 18th century homes of wealthy clothiers and the rare Handle House which was used to dry teasels (used to brush cloth).
Today the town is lively with all the modern amenities you’d expect to find in a town of this size, including two indoor shopping centres and more.
Leisure
Trowbridge has a busy events calendar which runs throughout the year, including family fun days in Trowbridge Park and music festivals. The park is a throw-back to a golden age and features a bandstand, tennis courts, and play area. Trowbridge also boasts a small theatre, cinema, soft play centres, shops and excellent transport links. There is a weekly and monthly market that both showcase local produce (we can particularly recommend the chicken sausages and fresh cheeses!).
Hope Nature Centre is also a notable spot for families, or if you’re feeling equestrian there are a number of riding centres in the area.
Transport
Just under 30 minutes from the M4 and close to the historic city of Bath, Trowbridge offers good commuter links. The train station offers fast links to Bath and Bristol and routes to Cardiff and the South Coast. The fastest trains to London are just under 2 hours.
