A Christmassy walk around Melksham to see the wonderful displays put on by the local residents, starting and finishing at the Market Place with the amazing tree of lights.  Dress warmly and bring some cash for the charity collections.  The route may change as new houses are added to the list, but it will be at around 5 miles on pavements, so a very easy walk. Parking is free after 6pm at King Street (SN12 6HB),  and Church Road (SN12 6LS) Car Parks, and these are only a couple of minutes walk away from the Market Place.
