Bradford-on-Avon takes its name from the "broad ford" where the River Avon was once crossed on foot, long before its honey-coloured Cotswold stone bridge and mill buildings gave the Wiltshire town its distinctive character. Steep, terraced streets lead down to the water, past independent shops and 22 cafes perfect for a riverside break. For an overnight stay, choose from 28 hotels and explore 50 destinations across the town.
