Experience the charm of Corsham's beloved peacock population! 🦚

These majestic birds were introduced to Corsham by the Methuen family in the 1920s, and they've become an integral part of our town's rich history ever since. While their official residence is Corsham Court, you'll often find them making themselves at home on our cobbled pavements and historic streets. 📍

Whether they're causing havoc holding up traffic, perching on rooftops, squawking at each other (they are very loud), or admiring their reflections in shop windows, the Corsham peacocks never fail to captivate both young and old. 📸 With their vibrant plumage and distinctive calls, they add a splash of colour and excitement to the town.

So next time you're strolling through Corsham, don't forget to keep an eye out for these beautiful birds! 🌈🦚
