Day trips from Melksham - Out and about - for 2026
 
Day trips from Melksham - Out and about - for 2026
Posted by grahame at 08:00, 3rd April 2026
 
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.

11.  The funnels tell me it's the Waverley.  A closer look in the corner confirmed to me that it's Sarfend.
