This EV charging point sits at Wiltshire College's Melksham Campus, just outside the market town of Melksham in Wiltshire.
While your vehicle charges, you've got time to explore the town centre and its traditional market square, where local shops and cafes offer somewhere to grab a coffee or a quick meal.
Melksham works well as a brief stop during a longer drive. The town has enough character to make a twenty-minute wander worthwhile, though it functions better as a convenient break than a major destination in its own right. The real value here is location. Bradford-on-Avon sits just a short drive away, featuring a striking bridge and pleasant walks along the canal if you want to stretch your legs properly. Bath lies further on and makes a worthwhile detour if your schedule allows, with its Roman heritage and handsome Georgian architecture.
Think of the campus charging point as a sensible waypoint on a longer journey rather than somewhere to spend hours. You're primarily here to keep your vehicle running while traveling between larger towns, but the surrounding area offers enough to do that you won't feel like time spent waiting is wasted. It's the kind of place that does its job well and gives you a genuine reason to step out of the car while you're here.
