Pickwick Lodge Farm wants all its guests to be relaxed and comfortable. The Access Statement will provide you with the information to decide on the suitability of our accommodation.
Introduction
Pickwick Lodge Farm is situated just outside the small town of Corsham, eight miles from the city of Bath. The farm, located at the end of a long tarmac drive, is a working farm producing beef cattle and crops. The farm buildings are surrounded by fields and provide peace and tranquility.
Pre-arrival
We are located at the end of a half-mile long tarmac drive. Our location is peaceful and surrounded by lovely countryside and therefore not ideally suited to those without their own transport.
The nearest shops are in Corsham approximately two miles away or a half hour walk. The nearest pub for supper is a five minute drive or a twenty minute walk away. We can also advise on eating places elsewhere.
A bus stop is at the end of the drive, with services to Bath (approx 30 minute journey) or Corsham and Chippenham in the other direction (5 minutes and 15 minutes respectively). We have bus timetables available on request.
The nearest railway station is Chippenham.
The M4 (junction 17) is approximately seven miles away.
