The Shoe

The Shoe is a hamlet in the parish of North Wraxall, in the north-west of Wiltshire in England.

It lies at the junction of the Fosse Way (the old Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln) and the A420 (running from Bristol to Oxford).

The settlement is named after the former inn called The Horse-shoe[1] and is about 7 miles (11 km) west of Chippenham and the same distance northeast of Bath.

The Shoe Inn, marked on the 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey map, has now become a private house, although a board for public notices and a postbox are still outside.

Just off the Fosse Way, about 400 yards north of the A420 junction, lies the North Wraxall Village Hall, called the Community Hall, offering a playgroup and other amenities.

The Shoe Inn's sign now hangs in a private garden
