Trowbridge Hotel Guide

Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, England, situated on the River Biss in the west of the county, approximately 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Bath, Somerset. The origin of the name is uncertain; one source claims derivation from treow-brycg, meaning 'Tree Bridge', referring to the first bridge over the Biss,while another source states that the true meaning is the bridge by Trowle, the name of a hamlet and a common to the west of the town.The Kennet and Avon canal runs to the north of Trowbridge and played a large part in the development of the town as it allowed coal to be transported from the Somerset coalfields. Trowbridge has a railway station on the Wessex Main Line. The civil parish of Trowbridge had a population of 28,148 according to the 2001 census, making it the largest town in the county, after the city of Salisbury. Source : www.wikipedia.org.uk
