The A4 passes through Corsham The attractive little town of Corsham, at the edge of the Cotswolds, has received comparatively little attention on Geograph to date.  The A4 skirts through one side of it, flanked by houses in the warm-coloured local stone.  A more contemporary feature of the town is that it has embraced the mini-roundabout to a greater extent than others in the area (one of them can be seen at the junction in the distance).
