Title: Day trips from Melksham - Out and about - for 2026 Post by: grahame on April 03, 2026, 08:00:14 Here we are ... Good Friday and seeing longer days and warmer (somewhat!) weather. I am an "enthusiast for rail" and not a "rail enthusiast" and travel to get places and see how things work in daily normal life. However, I also look for destinations, tourist attractions, and places for people to end up. Here are 11 heritage pictures and one miniature, all taken by me, all on days out from Melksham within the life of my current camera.
Just identify one each, please in posts today - give everyone else a chance. Some are easy, some are especially easy because I have not blurred out signage. 1.

9 - Imber bus, I guess you would like something more precise than the Imber range section of Salisbury Plain Training Area. My guess of two options would be Gore Cross.
