Cricklade

Among the towns of England, Cricklade stands out as the first town on the River Thames. Set on the northwestern edge of Wiltshire, it retains the compact form of an old market town, with the Thames and its water meadows shaping the local setting. North Meadow National Nature Reserve, beside the river, is known for its spring display of snake’s-head fritillaries, a native wildflower now scarce in Britain. St Sampson’s Church anchors the historic centre, while the town’s streets recall Cricklade’s long role as a crossing and trading point between the Cotswolds and the Thames Valley.
