Recently used as a filming location for the BBC One drama series Poldark, the author Charles Dickens was said to have been inspired by Corsham for his book, The Pickwick Papers. This attractive town benefits from several well-preserved historical sites, including Corsham Court, a grand stately home known for its large art collection and freely-roaming peacocks. The Pound Arts Centre, housed in a former school, hosts movie screenings, theatre performances and exhibitions, and has a public café.
