Do any of you read the Wiltshire Times? I was once a weekly buyer, but now I haven't seen one for months... It all seemed to go badly downhill when it was taken over by some chain or other.

Hi all, I’ve lived in Wiltshire on and off (moved to Bristol and back now) most of my life but looking for recommendations for dog walks that aren’t too strenuous or hilly, I had a operation 6 weeks ago to remove an organ and I’m still healing but want to get outside with my little dog. I’m 37 F and always looking to add to a list for weekend walks in and around the shire.

I feel trapped here. I've been trying to get a job for ages, I need to move out. Its a pretty town but a very uptight, closed environment if you want to make friends. I feel so isolated. Its been this way for 3 years to the point where it even drives my friends away that I have in other places because my home life is very dry and suffocated by my family. I prefer to visit chippenham and stuff, but on a Sunday I can't do that

Hey Guys, I'm an Indian Guy, lived in Leeds for almost one and a half year. Now, I have a job offer from a Company in Trowbridge Industrial Estate.

I'm really confused where to move for the role. Therefore I'm relying on you people's recommendations for moving.

About Me: Like Quiet Nights In. Don't mind Hikes or Walks. Don't Drive a Car. Mostly relying on Buses or Trains. Will be staying with my girlfriend.

I've read through the subreddit and there are various recommendations but can't seem to really get around to knowing good parts and bad. Just know that I have to Swindon lol.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

I would be grateful for anyone’s opinions on what are the best parts of Trowbridge to live. We are retiring and looking for somewhere quiet with access to good walks, the canal and local shops. Any recommendations are appreciated

Can anyone recomend somewhere to get a Canon dslr and lenses cleaned properly? Anywhere between bath/chippenham/salisbury sort of triangle, if in traveling to Swindon I may as well go to where I got it done before I moved house

Hi All

I am a southeast asian guy new in town (27M) and as much as I love Bath / Bristol, I kinda struggled with the limited options publicly available for people in their 20s/30s to do anything in Bath/Bristol unless you already have an existing group of friends. I am currently based in Trowbridge / Wiltshire.

Hence I am thinking of making a WhatsApp group of people in their 20s/30s near Bath or can travel to Bath City Centre. We can group together to do (relaxed) activities, like board games, brunch, bowling, movie club, friday night out etc. I am not on any social media hence opting for WhatsApp.

Here’s a plan for next week:

Activity: Board Games Date: 10th Sept Tuesday Time: 7 PM Location: Thirsty Meeples (board game cafe), BA1 2NT Cafe charge due on the day: £9 total one-off. Table reservation done.

For an intro about myself, I am a working professional and my workplace is in Bath city centre. I have previously lived in London (4 years) and Liverpool (2 years), and recently moved in to Trowbridge (commuter town to Bath) for my new job in Bath. My hobbies include board games, animals (cat cafes and dog parks), movies, local travel/daytrips and arcade.

If you would like to participate in this, please DM me on reddit with your name, age and contact number and I will add you to the WhatsApp group.

Thanks.

One obvious pick is stonejourner for stone henge but needing to create a whole team here, anyone have ideas?

Hi folks,

Mid 20s southeast asian guy recently moved in Trowbridge, started a new job in Bath. I have previously lived in London (4 years) and Liverpool (2 years).

Where do I meet people of my similar age group in Trowbridge and nearby (Bath / Bristol)? Looking to meet new people and potentially make friends.

I am into board games, movies, local travel / daytrips, brunch, escape rooms, animals (cat cafes and dog parks) etc.

Have signed up to some meetup groups in Bristol and with ‘the crescent club’ in Bath.

Going by the attendee list of a lot of these events, it seems lot of these indirectly cater for people of a much older age group (which is absolutely fine) - where can I meet people in the 20s/30s age group please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, a bit of a long shot but posting on various local groups in appeal for information. My mum's dog was seriously attacked by two out of control dogs earlier today near West Woods near Marlborough and needed urgent vet care. My mum and her partner had to fight the dogs off as owners were not close by.

It was two pit bull type dogs and owners were two men and two women who were unconcerned and gave fake contact details. Police not interested in helping.

If anyone knows who these people might be or live any information would be much appreciated as it likely isn't the first time this has happened and won't be the last and not sure what else to do.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am travelling to Melksham soon for an event.

I wondered if there are reasonable priced taxis from the station. If so, could you let me know who they are please?

I just looked online and was quoted £31 to drive 3 miles. That’s extortion, especially outside of London.

If there are any local buses running on Saturdays and go from Melksham Station to Bowershill, I would be grateful for some advice too.

Thank you lovely people 🫶🏻

Anyone has any suggestions on places to visit in and around? Maybe for a nice walk or a swim in a river? Anything to do this summer and what to expect in terms of gatherings,festivals,events! TIA!

Recently moved to Devizes on the west side and am struggling to find wifi providers. Most of the major ones I have checked like BT and talktalk are charging high monthly rates for a measly 15Mb download speed and 1Mb upload when I checked their website, many other providers just don’t do anything in my area at all. I’m hoping someone can let me know of any local providers who might be able to provide decent speeds. For reference I’m near Avon rd. any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Anyone remember these garages? Must have been a long time ago I should think.
