Getting Here

The destination

Sheldon Manor, Chippenham, England, SN14 0RG.

Two nearby stations:

• Chippenham Station — approximately 15 minutes by taxi from the manor. The default option for most people.
• Bath Spa Station — approximately 30 minutes by taxi. Useful if you want to meet up in Bath first, or if the train route works better.

Avoid booking to Bristol Temple Meads as a final destination unless your route specifically goes through there.
