Royal Wootton Bassett

Royal Wootton Bassett is a thriving Wiltshire Market Town with a population now totalling approximately 12500. The town is generally considered to date from the 681 ad Malmesbury charter, although it may have existed in Roman times. In the 13th century, Alan Bassett created the layout of the 'new' town as he sought to enlarge his then small settlement of Wootton, and thereby gave rise to the present name of Wootton Bassett.
Royal Wootton Bassett is a lively self-contained community with a wide variety of local schools, shops, services and leisure facilities including its own sports centre, the 'Wiltshire Golf Course', just a mile outside of town and a restored stretch of the Wilts and Berks Canal. The M4 j16 is approx 2 miles away and the town lays approx 6 miles south of Swindon Town Centre with a direct rail link to London Paddington.
